First, I can assure the witnesses that their testimony will be included in what we are reporting.
On the motion, I'd like to propose an amendment that says “or department officials”. The reason for that is the timing that we have. It may be difficult to get the minister to appear.
I know that all of us are deeply concerned about the reports coming out and share the outrage of all Canadians at what is being reported and what is happening to these women.
I'm going to propose an amendment to it, given the timing, so that we can try to get some answers on what's happening. I know the minister—I've spoken to her myself—is very engaged in the issue, and is as concerned as we are about what has been happening.
