Thank you.
If we are not going to issue a report on this, I do not understand why the minister should not have to come in front of committee to answer to this.
The other thing is that I've had experience in drafting letters in this committee before. It has not been a pleasant experience. If the Liberals, using their majority, are going to draft a sunshine-and-roses letter to the minister that he's not required to respond to, I would like that to be done in public so that the witnesses we've had before this committee can see the deliberations. I would like the minister to come and respond to this.
I am furious. I don't understand why we can't act on this. I do not understand why we are not requiring the government to respond to this—honestly. There are real challenges. We're doing something new. The government, to their credit, they're doing something new, but the reality is that this group of people has different needs than other groups of refugees who we have brought in, and we are not capable right now of meeting their needs.
That is the role of this committee. We have had recommendations. The government might not agree with it. The government side might not agree with it. That is fine, but we need to do our work as parliamentarians and say that the system we have, the siloed system of a standardized support for GARs, is not meeting the needs of this group of people, and their lives are at risk. I do not want to have to come back here because one of these women has taken her life, and that is what we're talking about here. I don't want to have to do that.
I do not understand why we can't have a report. If we cannot have a report, I want the content of this letter deliberated in public, and I want the minister in front of committee to respond to it by the end of February.
