This minister has shown throughout the period he's been minister that when he's been asked to come to this committee, he has always been very happy and willing to come and testify and to answer questions. That's something the minister has always done. I have full confidence that he will do that again. There are a number of things I believe the minister would like to get on the record. This is something I would imagine we would want to do as soon as possible.
I also caution, though, that we have ongoing investigations. As the committee has stated, and I know the opposition members agree, we have to be very careful when we're looking at ongoing investigations. We have to make sure we don't do anything that could impact a just and fair outcome for any complainants who are coming forward. The more we're going back and forth and debating about political witnesses, and the more this is politicized, the less likely it becomes that the women we want to come forward will do so, and we want women to come forward—women and men.
I think the minister is very happy to come back. I know he will make himself available whenever this committee would like him to come. I would imagine that sooner rather than later would be appropriate.
Please, everybody, let's just remember that we don't want to jeopardize any ongoing investigations.
Thank you.
