I wanted to provide some more information, but Ms. Blaney summarized the situation rather well.
A letter was written, but it wasn't from the department or the Prime Minister. Ms. Gauthier wrote the letter to complain about the situation. I received a copy, but I didn't even bother to share it with the committee members because it didn't add anything to the debate. In her letter, she complained about how long she was having to wait for services, mainly the elevator she needed because of her disability, and she asked whether they wanted her to submit a MAID request. No one offered her such assistance.
When she was here, with her big case, I asked her whether she had any of her own notes that she could share for the purposes of our discussion, because she writes everything down. She could have written down that she had received a phone call when she had been offered something, for instance. It's been about 10 days since we met with her. We've followed up twice, but we haven't received anything. That's where we are with Ms. Gauthier, and we were in close contact with her.
Now I'd like to turn to the motion on the table. I read it with my assistant on the weekend. We went over it with a fine-tooth comb. To be perfectly frank, I was completely against the motion at first, but sometimes I can be sensible. I opened a bottle of wine, and after one glass, we put together an amendment of sorts.
