Thank you, Ms. O'Connell.
I think there's some general agreement for this. The one thing I was asking Mr. Strahl off-line was.... I think there's a certain level of agreement that we want to do right by witnesses who have agreed to appear. However, there is a strong argument that's being put forward that, if they change their minds, we don't want to leave the clerk in a situation where she's unable to have them appear.
Is there some form of wording we can use that says, perhaps, that if those who have agreed to appear and are on the priority list later decide not to, they then can? Can we do this, so we would achieve what we would like to achieve as a committee, which is having them appear before the committee, but also do right by them because they have agreed to appear without a summons?
Does that make sense to everybody?
