To tell you the truth, after Mr. Serré's speech, I am not sure if we are discussing the amendment that I wanted to move or the motion.
In my view, our goal at the Standing Committee on the Status of Women is to hear from people who have lived through an experience and to focus our attention on the survivors. The chaplain, who has heard personal accounts from survivors and provided support to them, could testify.
The witnesses listed in the motion would testify for one and a half meetings. If we add a two-hour meeting to meet with Mr. Chapdelaine, he could share his experience with us. I think it would be a good discussion. Then we could prepare our final report and close out this study.
We should also remember that even if witnesses are added, there is nothing to prevent us from beginning the drafting of the committee report. That is still the goal. We want the report tabled and action proposed before the end of the session. We are in agreement on that.
How could we both add a meeting with Mr. Chapdelaine, which would conclude the discussions, and begin to write the report based on the testimony we have already heard?
So I'm moving this amendment, just so we can proceed in that manner.
