A pair of Conservative MPs will try to compel a CBC executive and a journalism standards director to appear before a House of Commons committee to defend the company's language guide — which discourages the use of the words "terrorism" and "terrorists" when describing attacks and their perpetrators.

That's great that these MPs want to educate themselves. They could learn a lot. By "compel" I'm sure they mean something like "inspire" these people to come and share their experience and research with them in a respectful philosophical exchange. And by "defend" they are probably thinking of the clever Socratic traditions of inquiry.
