I'm not talking about an amendment, but about something that may be relevant at some point.
I'm talking about the idea of adding, between the words “waivers” and “the committee”, the words “to the sanctions regime against Russia”. I would also remove “sanctions waivers to two aerospace companies to allow them to use Russian titanium in their manufacturing, and given that this is not the first time that the government has weakened and undermined Canada's sanction regime against Russia by waiving sanctions”. To connect the start and end of the motion, I would add, between the words “waivers” and “the committee”, the words “to the sanctions regime against Russia”.
The motion would now read as follows: “That, pursuant to the 106(4) request for an emergency meeting made by members of the committee on April 26, 2024, in response to the government's decision to grant waivers to the sanctions regime against Russia, the committee study the matter and hold at least two meetings on the issue, and invite the Minister of Foreign Affairs to testify.”
We'll have a chance to vote on Mr. Oliphant's proposed amendments, which I hope won't be adopted. I'll move my proposed amendment at that time, Mr. Chair.
