If I can just jump in on that, I'll take some of the blame.
The motion wasn't particularly specific about the list of witnesses in the text of the motion. I asked the clerk to invite the witness, so I'll take the blame for that. You're absolutely right that the text of the motion doesn't necessarily specify that the committee would invite that witness. It's a discussion that this committee should have had.
I guess it's hard to have it now, given that there is a motion on the floor that needs to be voted on. That's also, to some extent, an opportunity to have the discussion about whether we feel it's necessary.
I had some members come up to me and make the case that they felt we needed to invite that witness, so I instructed the clerk to invite the witness. However, I didn't have the instruction from the committee. I'll grant you that, Mr. Turnbull. You're correct.
We still have that motion with “summons” that Mr. Perkins presented.
Mr. Turnbull.
