That is the process we have followed in the past, and we're quite comfortable doing that as well.
If you think we're trying to drag this out, I would point out that not only have we come to an emergency meeting, we have provided a date in our motion—for next week—to go over this, to hear your concerns, to share our concerns, and to make sure this is a fulsome exercise.
Another thing I've seen the members do today is to cite legal principles. I can assure you that we're just as concerned about those principles. We want to get to the bottom of this, and we will not be dragging it out. I would ask the members opposite to please actually co-operate with us, to come together with us, to go over potential witnesses, and to meet with us next Tuesday to make sure that Canadians are satisfied that we are doing our utmost to bring some clarity to this. There is a lot of ambiguity out there; there's no question about it. You, I am sure, have read as many accounts as we have, so it's incumbent upon us to not act in a partisan fashion and to try to make sure that this committee actually gets down to work.
Thank you.
