I'll ask the clerk, but we had invited those who had objected previously to resubmit or re-articulate their objection, and there was some sense, I gather, Madame Clerk, that they had hoped they might be called as witnesses.
Je vais poser la question à la greffière, mais nous avions invité ceux qui s'étaient opposés au changement précédemment à resoumettre ou à reformuler leur opposition, et il semble, si j'ai bien compris, madame la greffière, que ces personnes espéraient être appelées à témoigner.
