Yes, but before I do that, I have to tell you that I wasn't part of this committee when Mr. Christopherson was here, but I heard the many stories. He's sort of a legend.
What's funny is that I did a lot of work in Hamilton with the YWCA Hamilton. Mr. Christopherson's wonderful, absolutely fantastic, lovely wife is the CEO of that organization. I know her very well. We are very good old friends. We worked together on a whole bunch of YWCA-related programming in downtown Hamilton, including their social enterprise café for women on the main floor. Prior to getting into politics, I wrote proposals and business plans for non-profits and charities, and they were one of them. They got significant funding from some philanthropic private foundations to renovate their entire downtown location to have this café, a social enterprise that actually employs women who experienced domestic abuse or were living in their transitional housing.
Mr. Christopherson is a legend, in my mind, but through his wonderful, absolutely fantastic wife, who is a real community leader in downtown Hamilton. I just had to tell that story, because although I didn't know Mr. Christopherson on this committee, I really feel like I know him and his family. I really believe in their leadership and their massive contributions to Canada and their local community. This is a shout-out to them. Maybe I can clip this piece and send it to my friend, Denise Christopherson.
Anyway, sorry for that. That was a bit of an aside. What was I going to say?
Oh, yes. Mr. Nater had asked about the Honourable Chrystia Freeland. I haven't had a chance to talk with her. She's been very busy. I think Justin, our wonderful clerk, had reached out prior. I think that was mentioned before. I'm sure if opposition members are willing to support the amendment that I put forward, we could send an invitation and reinvite both the ministers who are included in the amendment. I would certainly welcome the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance. She's absolutely wonderful.
