Hamilton West—Ancaster—Dundas Mr. Speaker, on that point of order, I will note that the member fromis repeatedly saying odious, disrespectful things to members on this side. Unfortunately, Mr. Speaker, when you fail to intervene, we have to stand up for ourselves.

Thank you for the work that both of you are doing. It's important.

Thank you very much, Chair. To our witnesses, thank you. Ms. Hamill, thank you. I know it takes courage to come to committee to begin with, let alone to be vulnerable.
