Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you to all of my colleagues. We were able to have some discussions during the break.
I am going to withdraw my amendment, and seek unanimous consent to amend the motion as follows. I would add a new bullet under “a) The study examine”, which would read, “i. The financing of the protest and the blockades;”
I would further amend the motion under part c) that refers to the invitation of witnesses, and change the part where it refers to the Deputy Prime Minister and the Minister of Finance alone for two hours. We would delete the word “alone”, and add the Department of Finance to the list of departments that are on the next bullet point.
With those amendments, we would pass the motion in its entirety on division.
I will speak to that amendment now, Mr. Chair, since I have the floor.
Obviously, we still need to have a subcommittee meeting. We have some programmatic stuff that we need to get to. I'll take members on their word that we're going to figure out a way to deal with Bill C-8, including some commitments that were made under the scheduling of the minister.
I believe, having talked to everyone, that this is agreeable, and that this will get us out of here tonight with a path forward to examine this very important subject.
