I just said that.

Thank you very much.

On behalf of the committee, Mr. Guité, I want to thank you for your appearance here today.

Go ahead, Mr. Sweet.

Can we have consent from all the members that for next June 12 we also invite Dominic Crupi and David Gork to appear in front of the committee with Great-West Life and Morneau Sobeco? And given the number of witnesses, can we limit the witnesses at the table to Dominic Crupi, David Gork, Pat Casey, Gary Roy, Francine Pell, and Peter Foley? They can sit at the table and any others who are needed can be called.

If I could have a little clarification from Mr. Sweet, I'm predisposed to support the motion.

With Mr. Gork and his involvement with that whole rigged contracting system, it was solely through the so-called Ottawa Police investigation. I understand we're also looking to revisit that and have Mr. Frizzell and Mr. Roy and a couple of other people come forward. Would it be appropriate to have Mr. Gork, especially considering he's coming from Lyon, when we deal with the Ottawa Police investigation? We could have him at both meetings, but it's a pretty narrow area that he would be able to speak to when we're dealing with Morneau Sobeco on the alleged rigged process.

David Sweet Conservative Ancaster—Dundas—Flamborough—Westdale, ON

Mr. Chair, on the logic behind it, first, it's my impression that David Gork is here now. We need to get some clarity around the steering of the direction of the investigation as well as the limitation around the numbers of Morneau Sobeco, and all those witnesses play into that.
