I have no intention of disrupting the committee's work. My intention is to make sure that we have adequate information so that we can judge for ourselves what the government's intentions are.
Madam Chair, I want to believe the government is honest. So for once ... in any event. This is causing me a lot of difficulty. Any time we want to get more information, we are called sinners. It isn't a sin: we want to make sure we have adequate information and make sure the government will explain what it is. It isn't just the government that's concerned, it's also certain organizations.
Even if we spent two meetings listening to people, it would not disrupt our timetable excessively. We have done it in the past. When urgent subjects come up, we often do it to make sure we meet those needs. Not to disrupt the committee's work. I am one of the people who is most eager for the study on aboriginal women and violence to get done. Don't worry, Madam Chair. The faster it can be done, the better it will be.
