Of the five witnesses mentioned in Mr. Poilievre's original motion, we have confirmed three so far--on March 4, Gary Polachek and Janice Cochrane; and on March 6, Ralph Goodale.
As the chair mentioned, we're still trying to locate Mr. Bard, to get contact information for him.
I spoke with Mr. Gagliano a few days ago. He is currently in Florida, and will be returning to Montreal in May of this year. Obviously he is another one who is up in the air as to whether or not he can come.
Mr. Gagliano did indicate that should he be called before the committee prior to his return to Montreal, his expenses for travel, accommodation, and expenses while he's here in Ottawa would have to be covered. This is something that committees frequently do for witnesses who appear. But he also indicated that he would want his lawyer present, and that should that be the case, he would hope that any legal fees associated with having a lawyer present with him could also be picked up by the committee.
