On Mr. Wrzesnewskyj's first point, I would give a very simple retort. I do appreciate the political imperative for him and for Liberal delegates here to avoid having these questions answered before an election, but at the same time it's not our job to serve the electoral interests of one political party.
On the logistical point that Mr. Christopherson raises, the reality is that we have to take a different perspective on witnesses' coming before committee: witnesses come before committee when we call them, not when it suits them. In terms of this notion that they might not be available or that their schedule doesn't suit, my motion came forward almost two weeks ago; there has been plenty of time for them to be warned, and there are weeks more for them to be alerted as to the timing of their testimony.
