Mr. Chair, at some point, things need to be clear. I cannot imagine that this woman has not, at one point or another, followed what the media is reporting or that she didn't get her messages. In my humble opinion, you really don't want to talk to us in that case. When someone holds such a senior position within government, one must answer for one's actions and answer the questions asked by parliamentarians, even if one no longer holds that position.
Earlier, I believe that you said you had asked the clerk to prepare a draft or a motion to force Ms. Ouimet to appear before the committee. I have no objection to moving that motion, if it is ready. Otherwise, we can write one, to subpoena Ms. Ouimet to come before the committee.
