Regarding the witnesses that you would like to summon, Ms. Chow clearly spelled out the proper procedure to follow to summon witnesses to appear. However, I would just like to say that I found Mr. Dykstra's comments amusing because when I sat on the Public Security Committee in the last Parliament, we summoned several government witnesses to testify during our examination of the Couillard affair, and they failed to show. Also, when the Access to Information, Privacy and Ethics Committee probed the in-and-out scheme, a number of individuals who had been summoned as witnesses were no-shows. I just wanted to let you know that witnesses regularly disregard summonses to testify before a House committee.
Thank you.
