Sorry I'm late, and I just caught the last of it. I think the thrust was that the Privacy Commissioner was asked and didn't come. I do think that's a serious issue. I would agree with Diane on it. When the committee invites people, we do have the right, as you would know, Mr. Chair, if we wanted to, to subpoena witnesses. I would hope we wouldn't have to go that far, but it's customary and I think it's proper for a committee to invite especially parliamentary officers, and they should have an excellent reason for not being here, in my view.
