If I may, Mr. Chair, I would like to acknowledge the new member in the House of Commons and officially welcome him to the committee. I also want to acknowledge Ms. Pauzé, who serves her party so well on this committee.
No, we're not talking about the motion. I'm going to clarify the situation for you. I moved that we commence the debate under Standing Order 106(4), which allows us to do that. After that, we can talk about the substance of the debate.
I'm asking whether we want to talk today about why we're here. Afterwards, we can have a discussion on the substance, on the motion itself.
