Mr. Speaker, I would like to, first of all, outline that the work of the committees of the House is at the discretion of those committees. It is their decision as to what particular witnesses they want to call or what issues they want to study.
I think it is also important to point out here that the Government of Canada has made substantial allocations of funding to ensure that the inquiry into missing and murdered indigenous women and girls is funded and is providing the support that is necessary. Where it is indicated that additional supports are needed, the Government of Canada has continued to step up.
We have not turned our back in any way, shape, or form on this independent inquiry. In fact, we have been there to support them on every part of this journey and to support the families that have been impacted. We want to ensure the success of this independent inquiry, and I can assure the member of that. However, in the meantime, we will let the inquiry do its work.
