Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I'm happy to see that Ms. Gaudreau wants to move forward and that she wants to work.
What I see in my riding is that people are very concerned about what's happening south of the border and around the world, geopolitically. That's what people talk to me about. They're very proud of what our Prime Ministeris doing, about what's happening and the agreements he has signed. Canada's economy is a medium-sized economy, and it makes free trade agreements so that Canada is less vulnerable to our neighbours to the south. That's what I hear.
We can do several studies. We have a report to do on artificial intelligence, and we can complete it before the end of summer. On the table, there's also the study proposed by my colleague Leslie Church, who is currently online, on pricing algorithms. We can do this work.
We can also conduct a study on the Privacy Act of Canada. I don't know if Ms. Gaudreau had the chance to read the “blues” of the meeting where Michael Sabia and Marc-André Blanchard came to talk about what we were doing. I know she wasn't the one who was there, it was Luc Thériault. At the time, I thought that I would've preferred Michael Sabia, who is the top public employee, and Marc-André Blanchard, who works in the Prime Minister's Office, to appear before us from the start. They convinced me that the system worked. I understand that we can have differences of opinion, but these people, these senior officials, convinced me that they were doing their jobs.
The Prime Minister has a blind trust. It's in the name, it's blind. There's an additional screen. This is where the civil service machinery is ut in place. This is where Michael Sabia and Marc-André Blanchard come in. As far as I'm concerned, I'm fine with it. I'm satisfied that Michael Sabia and Marc-André Blanchard are doing their job.
I request a vote on the subamendment. Next, I'll call for a vote on the motion.
