On a point of order, Madam Chair, collegiality is—

The witnesses have left the status of women committee. If we are collegial and if we are focusing on women here to resume.... They've actually turned their backs and left. They were here to represent all women, which is what this committee is for.
There are the staggering statistics that were recently released. That is what has happened, and we need to get back to this. We need to get back to this testimony if we're going to help women in this country.

Madam Chair, the committee members here from the opposite parties, the Liberals and the NDP, have completely shut out these witnesses from testifying. It's absolutely brutal what has happened here. They are being revictimized.
