Mr. Chair, can the committee invite other people, for example the people from the search firm that was hired to look for potential candidates? It would seem that they did not respect the requirements.
You know, Mr. Chair—I don't want to get into polemics, but we can if we want to—we're talking about certain requirements. Let me ask you a question. If the candidates presented to us had been unilingual francophones, what kind of reaction would there have been across Canada, Mr. Chair? We're talking about rights here. It's the very basis of our country. These are not insignificant matters.
I would like to know whether the committee could call other witnesses or groups.
