With all due respect, Madam Chair, it's not your role to decide whether or not we have to defer to the law clerk on whether or not a motion is in order. We should be focused on the matter at hand. We know that the witness we're asking for is in the office of the Minister of Public Safety. Perhaps we should have the RCMP see if they can find her.
This is more subterfuge, it would appear, and delays. For whatever reason, the government members do not want to have her before this committee. We feel that she can be helpful in explaining to us exactly what happened and how the process occurred so that we can correct it for the future.
