Thank you very much, Mr. Tardi.
I would like to proceed, but I take it that we're going to go in camera, because we have another item that we have to deal with, and we have to deal with it today. It's direction to the analyst on the writing of a report.
I think we've discussed this matter sufficiently. However, there is one item that I want to deal with in public right now, and it relates to a statement Mr. Tardi just made. I kind of got a kick out of it.
We have a hearing on Monday, involving the Department of Health, on chapter 8, allocating funds to regulatory programs, Health Canada. We have invited the deputy minister and the accounting officer from Health Canada to come before the committee. He told us that he doesn't want to come and that the associate deputy minister will be sufficient.
The chair would entertain a motion that if the accounting officer refuses to come by the end of business today, a subpoena should be issued for his attendance on Monday. Is somebody prepared to make that motion?
