The meeting is back in session.
I understand that the question I'm being asked to answer is really what exactly Monsieur Villemure means by the addition of the words “with recommendations”. Rather than trying to sort this out myself, I'm going to allow debate to resume, and perhaps Monsieur Villemure can inform the committee.
I will point out that neither the motion that was initially made nor Mr. Fergus's amendment would provide any forum for study with recommendations. There is a separate study taking place, which will run the course of hearing witnesses, drafting a report and making recommendations to the House. I understand that the intent of Monsieur Villemure's motion is simply, at the earliest point, to recommend to the House of Commons that it not proceed with the tender until the committee has done its study.
With that, I'll invite Monsieur Villemure to speak to the subamendment that has been made. If there are no other speakers following that, we may vote on it, but I'll go ahead with Monsieur Villemure.
