Yes I do, Chair, and thank you very much. I move that:
In light of recent reports showing that since March 2020 more than 1,100 attacks against Canadians of Asian descent have been reported; that over 500 of those attacks occurred in the first two months of this year alone; that children, youth and seniors are most likely to be affected by incidents of physical assault; and that this coincides with a global rise of anti-Asian racism, including the killing of six Asian-American women in Georgia; that pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) the committee undertake a study of no more than three meetings to review the rise of anti-Asian racism in Canada; that the committee report its findings, and that, pursuant to Standing Order 109, the committee request that the government table a comprehensive response.
In respect of the time of our members and witnesses, I'm happy to defer the debate until after the presentations of the witnesses.
