Thank you, Mr. Chair.
This is a very serious issue that the committee should consider carefully. We need to understand what happened, figure out what went wrong and make sure these types of accidents don't happen again, for the sake of all Canadians and all industries that depend on the environment.
We wholeheartedly support the spirit of the motion, and we even want to go further and hear from more witnesses.
In a moment, my fellow member and one of the committee's vice-chairs Mr. Kurek will lay out the other witnesses we would like to invite. The point of the motion is to hear from a lot more people.
Can he put forward that motion now, Mr. Chair?
