Thank you, Chair.
I'll address this very quickly. A number of points have been raised by my colleagues.
First and foremost, nobody is saying that the RCMP should not come to this committee to be held accountable and help us understand how this investigation has been going. What we're trying to say with this amendment is that the RCMP sent us a letter, and we are respecting their jurisdiction and limitations.
If our committee genuinely wants answers rather than grandstanding, then we need to delay when they come in. If we have them in within this week while the investigation is still ongoing, we are not going to get the answers that members of this committee want. To me, on a practical basis, it makes no sense whatsoever for us to haul them in only to have them say again and again that they can't answer the questions because there is an active, ongoing investigation, which we all want to be concluded. None of us should be wanting to politicize an independent investigation by the RCMP. That is why we are introducing this amendment.
I'm really hoping that we can go to a vote, Chair.
