We want to recognize, first of all, that they have changed the policy. They've agreed to making a sizable donation to the Legion. The letter was very clear on their support for veterans.
If I'm not mistaken, this committee agreed with MP Blaney's intervention before we voted that we would very much like the president to appear, regardless of whether the policy changes. What I'm suggesting at this point is to not come down too hard with the hammer, but to simply recognize that maybe the date we provided, with that time, was not an agreeable time, and to give them the option to give us some options in working with the clerk and our schedule.
If that is refused, my next option would be to summon the witness. Now, this witness, as I understand it, is not in Canada, so the bailiff would not be able to deliver that summons until that person steps foot in Canada. I think it would be a very strong message.
