Yes.
It has been moved by Monsieur Blais that the motion be amended by deleting the words “federal government”, and adding the words “and the Gulf of St. Lawrence” after the words “Arctic waters”. And we have to add an “s” to make “plan” plural, otherwise the context would not be proper.
So the amended motion would read as follows:
That, in light of the plans to explore for oil and gas in Arctic waters and the Gulf of St. Lawrence, the Fisheries and Oceans Standing Committee conduct a study on that matter at its earliest opportunity, calling witnesses to comment on, among other things, the recent audit of the Canadian Coast Guard that identifies the Department's need for training and up-to-date equipment necessary to properly handle oil spills and offshore pollution in Arctic waters and the Gulf of St. Lawrence.
You've heard the amendment brought forward by Monsieur Blais.
Are there any comments or questions on the amended motion?
Mr. Kamp, and then Mr. Cuzner.
