Thank you, Minister.
Minister, one thing that I and I know others have been preoccupied with quite substantially is the role of far-right extremism and the impact that it's been having on women, on journalists and on indigenous peoples and the role of misinformation in this.
On May 7, I gave a notice of motion and, Madam Chair, at this time I'd like to move that motion, which reads as follows:
That, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), the committee undertake a study of no fewer than four meetings to study the concerning rise in far-right extremism in Canada; that the study include how far-right extremism plays a role in misinformation and disinformation; how to better support preventable measures for ideologically motivated extremism in Canada and the connection between far-right extremism and harassment towards journalists, women, indigenous peoples, Black and racialized communities, members of the 2SLGBTQI+ community and religious minorities; that the committee report its findings and recommendations to the House; and that pursuant to Standing Order 109, the committee request that the government table a comprehensive response to the report.
This was distributed, Madam Chair, on May 7 in both official languages, and I would now like to move that motion.
