Broad Investigative Powers Without Proportionality Limits

The Committee can compel witness attendance, examine witnesses under oath, and demand document production without explicit limits on scope or proportionality. This creates unpredictable compliance burdens for businesses—particularly smaller organizations—who cannot anticipate when they'll face compulsory process or how extensive the demands will be. The provision lacks standards ensuring investigations remain relevant to the actual dispute, potentially exposing businesses to costly, disruptive investigations that serve regulatory enforcement rather than genuine dispute resolution.
