Health committee  There are a few issues. One is related to the justice department. If there is a lawsuit, would they be allowed to come to testify? I'm not sure if they'd be able to answer questions. It doesn't mean you can't ask the questions, but I think there are other departments that might b

Health committee  This is a question now for the chair. Are the RCMP or the justice department being called to be witnesses here at any point in this study?

Health committee  I would probably like to move a motion at some point, because I think this goes far deeper. I've heard questions from Ms. McLeod as well as Mr. Davies that.... There is something that needs to be investigated here. Ms. Valerie Gideon said that these forced sterilizations are a

Health committee  Hopefully, we'll be able to move a motion once this is over, and move forward with that. I'd like to know who pays for the forced sterilizations in the health care system for status women.

Health committee  Okay. I have no more questions.

Health committee  Thank you very much for coming today. It's very much appreciated. To continue along the same line of questioning as Mr. Davies, have you any knowledge of the RCMP having contacted or requested any documentation from any of your departments related to this file?

Health committee  In the health branch under the rearrangements with Crown relations, Indigenous Services and Indigenous and Northern Affairs, I believe Health Canada had a component: FNIHB, the first nations and Inuit health branch, which was transferred into Indigenous Services. How does that p

Health committee  I have a number of questions, Don. I was just wondering if you know what the scope is of the status of women study they're doing right now.

Health committee  Are we meeting with the same officials and asking similar questions? If they're meeting with the officials from the health department and we're meeting with officials from the health department, I could conceivably see that we'd be meeting with similar people who are going to say
