This committee, on this particular investigation, has used this process to call former ministers before the committee. I consider that a friendly amendment to one of my motions that brought the witnesses who came forward.
The decision to bring the whistle-blowers and the witnesses before this committee was decided by the committee when Mr. Poilievre made what I considered a friendly amendment to bring former ministers. It was decided by this committee, so it's par for the course, and it's important that these individuals have the opportunity to appear for the very clarity that we're trying to find.
