Mr. Chair, I'm going to be very quick, because I want to respect the time that you have, and I know that honourable colleagues have another engagement to go to. This, I hope, will be very quick and we'll get a lot of support.
I'd like to move one last motion. It's one that's important to me. It's one that we've seen. It has real consequences. As I say, the indirect yet very real consequence of foreign interference is that it has led to a lot of social divisions within our own country.
China has been seen as the villain and, on the face of it, the Chinese government seems to warrant this criticism.
However, Canadians of Chinese origin have been the victims of xenophobic attacks, and we have also seen similar behaviour towards other groups in our country.
I would therefore like to amend Mr. Villemure's motion by adding after the words “until the study is complete” the following: “that one meeting be dedicated to the rise of xenophobia in Canada”.
