Mr. Chair, I've only sat on this committee for six months. I therefore can't have referred to that. We were concerned with Mr. Marshall a little before the holidays, and there had been no other events before that. Whatever the case may be, I never requested any such thing.
In the case before us, the situation is truly different. Through the clerk, we sent the Deputy Minister of Health an invitation to appear before this committee, and he answered. In my opinion, the committee will have to look into this matter. If a motion is required, that could well delay our proceedings. It's often said that that takes time. I would agree for us to issue a subpoena in this case, since the Deputy Minister of Health has already answered. That wasn't the case with Mr. Marshall.
