Good afternoon, honourable members.
I am back as committee chair in these unusual—to say the least—circumstances. Please be kind and indulgent.
Welcome back to meeting number 21 of the Standing Committee on Foreign Affairs and International Development.
Today we will be continuing the discussion that began on Monday.
As always, interpretation is available through the globe icon at the bottom of your screen, and members participating in person should keep in mind the Board of Internal Economy's guidelines for mask use and health protocols.
I would like to take this opportunity to remind all meeting participants that screenshots or taking photos of your screen is not permitted.
Before speaking, please wait until I recognize you by name. When speaking, please speak slowly and clearly. When you are not speaking, your mike should be on mute. A reminder that all comments by members should be addressed through the chair.
We were debating Ms. Fry's motion, and we had an amendment from Mr. Genuis.
We are still debating Mr. Genuis's motion, which I will recap for you.
