Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to move the following motion that I put on notice on Friday. The motion reads as follows:
That,
given that the Privacy Commissioner of Canada is a trusted and respected defender of the privacy rights of Canadians;
and given that Liberal members on the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security denied the Commissioner an opportunity to protect those rights by appearing as a witness during clause-by-clause consideration of the Prime Minister's overreaching surveillance law, Bill C-22;
the committee report to the House its concern that the Liberal government has silenced and sidelined the Privacy Commissioner during this critical stage of consideration of the Prime Minister's overreaching surveillance law, Bill C-22.
