Yes.
I agree with my colleague Mr. Byrne, for the good and simple reason that, when the witness invited is an expert witness, we have to examine his or her expertise. These people are testifying and sharing their experience and interests with us. This could be a Canada volleyball champion who is interested in civil liberties and is working at her association.
I was letting Mr. Jean speak and ask his questions. He was putting his remarks in context. However, following Mr. Crombie's point of order, he said he was assessing whether she was actually an expert. And yet we didn't invite her as an expert witness.
