Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Why don't we as a committee direct the bailiff to periodically check whether Madame Ouimet is back in town? She's a property owner. She's a responsible citizen. She's going to come home at some point. Let's put the file in abeyance and go on to another matter that's important to this committee.
We've heard from a whole series of witnesses. We've heard from everyone who has anything to do with this matter and should have any knowledge, other than Madame Ouimet. Why don't we carry on with important government business and have the bailiff report to us when he's been able to serve a summons? I don't know exactly what the summons should say; perhaps we can get legal advice on that.
We've lost the better part of today already on this matter. The lady is obviously out of the country. She doesn't want to be found. In some ways, it's understandable. But she's going to come home. Why don't we find out when she is home, send her a summons, and carry on with other committee business?
