The issues as I understand them from the correspondence relate to procurement, which strictly may not get the examination they may need under the scope of a commission of investigation. The whistleblowers in this case have been very brave by coming forward. They have done the State and the victims of abuse a service. If they feel they have something to offer the committee, we should show them courtesy of inviting them. All witnesses, in terms of their appearance here, have to be treated the same as anybody else. Whistleblowers have done so much to give us information in the first place that partly led to the commission of investigation. We should afford them the opportunity to come before the committee.
