All right.
We are resuming meeting number 37 and the debate suspended on Friday, April 17.
Today's meeting is being held in a hybrid format. In accordance with the Standing Orders, members may participate in person or via the Zoom application.
When we last left our superheros, we were on committee business and we are resuming debate on a motion moved by Mr. Barrett on Monday, April 13, 2026:
That the committee undertake a study into the connection between the Minister of Finance and National Revenue and Alto, and the Minister's claims that he has recused himself from decisions his government made related to Alto; that, for the purpose of this study, the committee invite the following witnesses to appear by May 8, 2026:
1. Konrad von Finckenstein, Conflict of Interest and Ethics Commissioner, for two hours;
2. Executives from Alto, including CEO Martin Imbleau, for two hours; and
3. the Minister of Finance and National Revenue, for two hours.
An amendment was moved by Mr. Saini that the motion as amended be further amended by deleting the words “Executives from Alto, including CEO Martin Imbleau, for two hours”. The subamendment moved by Mr. Hardy was that the amendment be amended by deleting the words “including CEO Martin Imbleau, for two hours”.
The subamendment by Mr. Hardy would have the effect of confirming that the executives from Alto would not be invited to appear, but that the CEO, Martin Imbleau, would be invited to appear. That is where we are today, and that is what we are resuming debate on this evening.
We are on the subamendment moved by Mr. Hardy.
Mr. Thériault, at the end of the last meeting, you had the floor regarding the subamendment. You therefore have the floor.
