Thank you.
Mr. Chair, I would like to move the following motion, which Mr. Bragdon did, earlier this week:
That, given the factual inaccuracy provided by Mr. Richard Goodyear, the Department of Fisheries and Oceans' Chief Financial Officer and Assistant Deputy Minister, in his testimony to the committee on December 2, 2022, and raised in correspondence to the committee dated December 14, 2022, from Mr. Gregory McClinchey, Policy and Legislative Affairs Director of the Great Lakes Fishery Commission; and that considering the harm done to Canada's relationship with the United States through Canada's continued lack of fiscal accountability toward the Great Lakes Fishery Commission and the numerous bi-lateral initiatives that would be jeopardized by the termination of the Great Lakes Fisheries Convention, that the committee report to the House on this inaccuracy, and recall Mr. Goodyear to committee to rectify his testimony.
May I suggest, Mr. Chair, that the official, Mr. Goodyear, be scheduled to appear in the second hour, when the minister is scheduled to appear later this month, I believe?
