Mr. Chair, as my colleague Mr. Cooper has pointed out, we have not received a response to this, and I think we deserve a response to this. Both in the original motion, which has now been amended, as well as in statements made by members on the other side, there's a reference to this unknown group of government colleagues, “our government colleagues”. My understanding is that our government colleagues had conversations with the office of the attorney general and discussions, so we want to understand what that is. Maybe there are going to be witnesses coming from our government colleagues. Also, when you were pressed on who contacted the three witnesses—because you told us that they've already agreed to show up and that's why it's okay to talk about them as witnesses—we didn't really receive an answer as to who our government colleagues are in that case. I believe we deserve an answer as to who our government colleagues are who contacted these three, and I will gladly sit here and wait until you give them to me.
