Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to put forward a motion.
I move,
That, upon tabling of the supplementary estimates (B) for the fiscal year 2024-25, the committee invite Minister Lebouthillier to testify on the supplementary estimates (B) by no later than the end of the current supply period.
The rationale for it is that the Conservatives are actively stalling the supplementary estimates from being adopted in the House of Commons. We believe that's going to have an impact on the ability of real, key essential services like the Coast Guard and CMP to operate effectively. These services are absolutely important. We think it could play a role, not just in safety but in ceasing a lot of operations with respect to harvesters. We'd like to have the minister come in and speak to that and the impact of the stalling with respect to Canadian fisheries, writ large, and harvesters.
Thank you.
