Science and Research committee  I believe I'm responsible for writing—

Science and Research committee  Just to confirm, is that after “relevant SDTC officials”, or is it further up in the motion?

Science and Research committee  Okay—“at the fund”.

Science and Research committee  Dr. Sukhai, I apologize. It was lagging a bit and there was some latency. We'll let you know if we run into any technical problems. You may resume.

Science and Research committee  Mr. Vigneault was invited. There was a series of dates that were provided. He was not available on those dates. After discussion with the chair, we agreed on the witnesses that Public Safety via CSIS had provided.

Science and Research committee  This is on Mr. Collins' amendment to remove Huawei from the motion. Shall the amendment to the motion of Mr. Mazier carry? (Amendment negatived: nays 6; yeas 5 [See Minutes of Proceedings])

Science and Research committee  I will now read the motion as amended: That, pursuant to Standing Order 108(3)(i), the committee study the use of the federal government research and development grants, funds, and contributions by the Canadian universities and research institutions in partnerships with entities connected to the People's Republic of China in areas including, but not limited to: photonics, artificial intelligence, quantum theory, biopharmaceuticals and aerospace; and including but not limited to, intellectual property transfers and developments with Huawei Technologies and the National University of Defense Technology; that the committee hear from the director of the Canadian Security Intelligence Service, the Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry, department officials, top research officials from Canadian universities, the federal granting agencies and any other witnesses deemed relevant to the study; the committee allocate a minimum of four full meetings to this study; that the committee begin the study on June 20; that the committee split the meetings for this study with the study of Long-term Impacts of Pay Gaps Experienced by Different Genders and Equity-seeking Groups Among Faculty at Canadian Universities, with this study being dedicated in the first hour; and that the committee report its findings to the House.

Science and Research committee  At that point, it's the will of the committee if the final motion is adopted.

Science and Research committee  He can remove his motion, but once the motion is adopted, that's the adopted motion.

Science and Research committee  Another option is that with unanimous consent, you can withdraw the subamendment and move another.

Science and Research committee  Mr. Chair, I just confirmed that if it does pass, you can amend. It will then become one amendment and you can amend it further. You can have a new subamendment, if it passes. Either way, the question needs to be put—

Science and Research committee  Just one moment.

Science and Research committee  I apologize; I did make a mistake. We do need to defeat this first in order to move another subamendment on this. We cannot amend the subamendment at the....

Science and Research committee  It should be the other way around.

Science and Research committee  Okay.
