Before we start the discussion, there was a little bit of a preamble to the motion. The actual motion reads as follows:
That the Standing Committee on Fisheries and Oceans invite the Minister of Fisheries and Oceans to appear at the committee to provide up-to-date information on the government's response to the landslide and answer questions from the members; and
That, in the invitation to the Minister, the Chair impart the urgency of the ongoing situation and request that the Minister appear before March 14, 2020 for a two-hour televised meeting with the committee.
Is there discussion?
Mr. Hardie.
