Thank you, Mr. Chair. That obviously speaks to the urgency of the issue and the fact that we need to deal with it.
The second thing I would say on the amendment is that I know it calls for the Minister of Indigenous Services, Minister Hajdu, to be stricken from this list. I think Minister Hajdu is an important piece of this puzzle as it relates to the information and data collecting that was happening while she was the Minister of Health. We want to find out for sure about not just the involvement of PHAC but also the minister's involvement in this collection of data. I think it's important that Minister Hajdu, as the former Minister of Health, be part of this.
Of course Mr. Duclos would be important as well, because the RFP was proposed when he was the minister. It's not just the connection with PHAC but the connection between PHAC and the government, and I think it's important that both ministers appear.
The next question I have, Mr. Chair, is a procedural one, because the motion did speak about “immediately following the adoption of this motion”. If the amendment fails and the main motion passes, then my question to you procedurally is this: When in the near term would it be possible to have a meeting of this committee reconvened with either one minister or both ministers, as well as Ms. Tam, able to appear? If I am to agree to this, understanding what the Liberal members are doing with respect to “immediately”, I need to know, because of the importance of this issue, that we're going to have a meeting sooner rather than later. I'm asking for your direction on that, Mr. Chair.
