Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I thank my colleague for her comments.
Members of this committee specialize in access to information. That's about all we hear about in a given year. We may be in a better position to deal with this aspect than the Special Committee on the Canada–People's Republic of China Relationship. I have no desire to cause duplication. Perhaps the other committee should hand the access to information part over to us because we are more familiar with the subject.
Again, we're definitely not talking about Chinese citizens having access to the lab or anything like that. What I am proposing is directly related to this committee's core mission. My colleague, Ms. Khalid, is suggesting that the other committee should deal with this matter, but I would turn that right around and suggest that we should deal with this matter while the other committee focuses on the other subjects of its motion. I firmly believe that the amendment I moved is entirely consistent with our committee's mission because we specialize in these matters and should study them here.
