My understanding was that, if we did do such a thing, then it would set a precedent for other groups who would very much like to appear at our committee, including, of course, members of the Haitian community. Initially we had considered the possibility of doing a one-day report on them. For those reasons, when the clerk brought that to my attention, she asked what I thought. I said, I didn't think that it was fair to other communities, because then we'd face the prospect of dealing with numerous communities on a daily basis.
