I want it to be clear to members of this committee who have not chaired a committee before that to use that power is not something that is done lightly. I have never used it in five years as a chair. It does come with consequences for the individual. My hope is that this could be resolved by just making sure that we have a date that's agreeable. We'll work with his office and through the clerk to make sure that option is the first option.
