Subsequent to the amendment of MP Angus, I'm going to make some very brief comments. They are as follows.
As I mentioned last week, being a new member of this committee, I think it was incumbent on me to get as much information and ask as many questions as possible to be able to understand the essence of the motion that MP Barrett put before us.
I think we've debated this and we've obtained information and, I would say, not all the information and not all the answers to the questions that were put before members of this committee. I think the interventions made by my colleagues last week perhaps led to Mr. Angus's amendment this morning, and I think what that shows is an understanding of wanting to work collaboratively on this committee to be able to do our work and to fulfill the mandate we have, both collectively and individually.
I commend my colleague for having put forward the amendment and considering the removal of Margaret Trudeau and Alexandre Trudeau. You will recall also that last week we referred to various passages of information and various documents that were made available to this committee, and I believe that everything that had been put forward, as well as our interventions, may have led us to reconsider and to put the amendment that we have before us.
As a new member of this committee, I'm hopeful that we will be able to continue discussions and continue the exchange of information, which we owe to ourselves and to the mandate of this committee, so that we can continue our work and fulfill our respective obligations on this committee. I welcome the amendment. I think I've made it very clear that I will be in favour of this amendment.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
