Thank you so much, Mr. Chair.
I just want to get some clarification. It's been four months since our committee passed a motion asking Mr. Jackson Wijaya to appear. There was discussion on whether we needed to issue a summons for him to appear. My understanding is that there were negotiations, but four months is a very long time.
We have been approached by Paper Excellence to go have drinks with them at the MĂ©tropolitain. We've been told that we can look at some of their documents. They've asked us to keep them all in confidence, and we've agreed to all of that. However, we have not had Mr. Wijaya.
We don't know how this company is structured. We don't know the relationship with Asia Pulp & Paper. We don't know the Sinar Mas group and whether it's a family business, but it holds massive holdings of Canadian equity right now.
I want to know whether or not a summons will need to be issued, whether Mr. Wijaya is willing to come or whether they've just decided that our committee is something that they're not paying attention to. I think it would send a very wrong message to the people of Canada if our committee is unable to finish this study.
