Chair, I seek a little guidance from you.
Given the discussion that we got talking about with Mr. Spice—which was very important, and we didn't know whether we were going to get him back, but I feel we spent some time there—we really didn't, in my opinion, deal with all the issues that have to do with what the focus of this particular hearing was going to be. And that was what happened inside the secure area and the allegations that documents are missing as a result of an executive assistant to a deputy commissioner appearing somewhere where it's questionable whether or not he ought to have been there, etc., etc. We don't have that particular EA here, and I think that was part of the issue Mr. Wrzesnewskyj raised about who got invited and who didn't. I don't have the name at my fingertips; I apologize. Mr. Estabrooks was away that day, but the staff person who was there when the EA went through--we should hear from that person.
That whole issue is really what this was about, and our serious concern is that the allegations, if true, mean that actions were being taken, even as we meet now, in an attempt to cover up. And if that's not what happened, then we need to dispel those allegations and take that pressure off and not just leave that cloud there.
So I'm in your hands, Chair. I know that time is a priceless commodity, but we really did not get to the essence of what we meant to today, through no fault of the committee. What do we do? Where does that leave us, Chair? I don't want to leave these questions unanswered.
