I don't think that's a route the committee should be taking. If I were a witness appearing before a committee, I would certainly want my testimony to be factored into whatever report the committee puts forward.
I had the lack of an honour, shall I say, to sit on a committee last year that totally cut swaths of testimony by witnesses on the Kyoto issue from its final report. That was politics and disrespectful to the witnesses who appeared.
Now I'm sitting here before a committee that wants to further disrespect witnesses who are going to be coming. I think it's time to put the narrow agendas away; let's get on with the full testimony and then write a report.
