With respect to the schedule, you talked about the end of the SDTC study. I've sent a motion to the clerk that I'm going to put forward for the committee's consideration in light of testimony that we heard at another committee this week. I'll be brief in my presentation of it and give committee members an opportunity to consider it and respond.
That, given the testimony heard from the SDTC whistleblower on Monday December 11, 2023 before the Standing Committee on Industry and Technology, in which the individual states that the Minister of Industry lied before this committee regarding the government’s knowledge and handling of serious conflict of interest and misappropriation of taxpayer money, the committee immediately expand its study into SDTC for an additional six meetings, and that the committee hear testimony from the Minister of Industry, the SDTC whistleblower, Officials from the Privy Council Office, Industry Officials, Annette Verschuren, Leah Lawrence, Guy Ouimet, Andrée-Lise Méthot and all other witnesses deemed relevant to the committee’s study.
