Mr. Chair, I would like some clarification with respect to the witnesses. During our last meeting, I recall that there had been a request that Ms. Ouimet be present here, this morning. If my memory serves me correctly, we had also asked that someone from the Privy Council be here. However, as we can see, there is no one here to testify, and Mr. Friday stated that he was not speaking on behalf of Ms. Ouimet, which I can understand.
Could someone tell us why these two individuals are not here?
