Mr. Chair, I'd like to give notice of two motions today.
The first notice is of the following motion:
That the committee concur in and report to the House the comments made by the Governor of the Bank of Canada at his appearance at the finance committee on October 30, 2023, when he admitted that Trudeau's carbon tax is inflationary and that if it were repealed it would slow inflation by “0.6%”.
The second one I'd like to put on notice is the following:
That given recent media reports that the Public Health Agency of Canada lost $150 million dollars on an unfulfilled contract last year and won't say why, and given that the finance committee is empowered to consider and review budgetary policy, including government spending, the committee undertake a study of the Canada public health agency's unfulfilled contracts, including the lost $150 million in taxpayers' money for an unfulfilled contract with an undisclosed vendor; that the witness list include, but not be limited to, the President of the Public Health Agency of Canada, the Parliamentary Budget Officer, the President of the Treasury Board and the Minister of Health; that the study take no more than four meetings; that the committee report its findings to the House; that the committee send for all documents and emails related to the $150-million unfulfilled contract; that the unredacted documents and emails be received by the committee no later than one month following the passage of this motion; that any redactions of the documents or emails due to privacy be made only by the Office of the Law Clerk and Parliamentary Counsel of the House of Commons; and that these documents be posted on the committee's web page.
Thank you.
I'll turn it back over to my colleague.
