Madam Chair, I have a question of procedure.
If a witness is voted down in this committee, does that then preclude that witness from being able to be entertained if it comes forward as a witness from an individual member?
If that's case, Madam Chair, I really think that this whole procedure we're going through, where we're voting up and down different witnesses, is actually very unfair, because what that will lead to is a number of witnesses that might be voted down just because we think that procedurally it's incorrect, in which case, if they were put forward by the member, those witnesses would likely be called.
I don't think we're all in a position today to be saying yes or no to individual witnesses. I'd much prefer that parties submit those names and then leave it open for those witnesses to be able to be called.
