Again, I want to clarify, but I think it's a good time to have these discussions. If the witness is somebody we call for from the general public, I have a different level of expectation from what I have if the witness is an employee of the Government of Canada. If it's DND or if it's Veterans Affairs, I would certainly expect that they would come with translated documents. If it is a member of the public who we've called and they don't have the access to all the translation facilities that our federal government has, then that's a different question.
