Excellent.
I will use the remainder of my time as follows. We've had exactly four hours of study time on this particular topic. We've had witnesses suggest that other witnesses should come to the committee. As you can see, it's a weighty study. My colleague has also expressed to me that there have been some a discrepancies, which I believe she will address, between departmental officials' testimony and the testimony we've heard from the witnesses.
What I'm about to do is ask for more time. I'm also going to ask, in a formal motion, that the government actually table a response to our report.
On that, I move:
That, notwithstanding the motion adopted by the Committee on October 16, 2017, the Committee hold an additional meeting prior to December 20, 2017, on the resettlement issues related to Yazidi women and girls; and that the Committee report its finding to the House; and that the government table a response.
For the witnesses, I have just asked the members of the committee to consider an additional meeting here so that we can perhaps hear from survivors. We have not had them come to our committee. It would also require the committee to table a formal response with these recommendations.
My colleagues have a choice here. They can, in front of you, since we're at this meeting, vote on this motion—I'm hopeful that they will and that we'll extend this hearing and allow for a report—or they can adjourn debate, which means they're probably not willing to do that. I would like you to watch this.
I would implore my colleagues on this committee to put aside political differences for a moment and ensure that we have at least one more meeting to hear from survivors themselves who have come to Canada; as well as have a formal report drafted, given the severity and the seriousness of some of the recommendations that have been put forward today; and also that the government table a response.
Thank you.
