Okay. Are there any other comments?
All right, then, let me just give some background.
When I took over in the last Parliament, I actually was not aware that there was a kind of explicit motion like this. The practice was that witnesses are given three weeks. Generally, the vast majority of the time, they comply with it. One thing I never did was just call them up on my own if they didn't comply. We always, as a committee, returned to it and discussed it, and sometimes the witnesses would get a nudge from this side of the table. If that was not deemed sufficient, a more formal letter might come from me, and ultimately a motion would be proposed from members.
I wouldn't deviate from that. Whether this motion passes or not, I would still continue to use my discretion. I don't think we go from Defcon 5 to Defcon 1 in a single blow, particularly when witnesses do come before this committee and we try to work with them to get answers. However you decide to vote on this, I want to put that out there.
This motion is not going to change the way we've operated up until now. If there are witnesses who don't provide answers, we will discuss that.
Again, I would never just hit the three-week mark and call a witness in on my own. I don't think that would be appropriate, because sometimes things happen.
Ms. Kusie, do you want to make a comment?
