Mr. Chairman, on September 15 there was ample opportunity, I thought, for Mr. Ross to make whatever presentation. It was not the decision of even the committee; it was the government. The Department of National Defence came. They had four witnesses. There would have been, I think, ample opportunity then for Mr. Ross to speak, but they obviously chose not to. Then somebody obviously agreed to this agenda that we have in front of us, which had the former head of the air force as well as Mr. Williams for Thursday, and then there was a change.
Again, there are no games being played. That six-hour meeting that we had was the opportunity for them to speak, and I would have been quite happy just to have heard from him, but I was given four witnesses. We're not precluding his coming back—absolutely not—but I think in fairness that we need to hear the other witnesses. Then, at the end, if there's a desire to hear him again, fair enough.
