We all know that I'm new to committee work. We talked about this at our first-ever committee meeting. I believe I said that I wasn't really comfortable tabling a report from when I wasn't part of the committee, when we went through all of this last time. I think it took place over a couple of years.
My familiarity with this report is covering the committee as a journalist, which I did quite extensively, particularly when the WE Charity was in the hot seat. It was something that was covered extensively by the media, including by me. We watched the testimony day after day. Personally, since then, I haven't heard anything from my constituents wanting to see more from this. I feel that it was covered in depth and that we got a lot of information. It was an important study and it was important to look at, but I don't know why we would get back into it now, when the work has been done.
Maybe we want to see a government response, but we have a hundred and some pages from what this committee already looked at. We're at a different stage in the pandemic now. We're at a stage where we're looking at different measures, and we're looking at how to support things. The work that this committee has been doing on facial recognition, for example, is really important, and I'd like to get back to that. I think that the WE Charity, after this committee was done with it, was no longer a charity, so that's no longer an issue. The key points that the committee covered were important, but we have that information. From my perspective, as a new member of the committee, this feels like a waste of time. I'm wondering why we're continuing with this.
On the first day, we already decided that we weren't going to bring this back, so I'm a little confused as to why we're still here. I'd really like to continue with the other committee business if we could.
