I will soon. I'm just waiting to get the final copy of it. I don't want to give the wrong wording.
Perhaps while I am waiting for the final wording to come through, I can just say that if we are going forward, as I think we all know we need to, with regard to the Ukraine study, I was quite happy with the way we did it in the last session, when we knew we had a certain number of days allocated for it but there was some flexibility within the committee as to when we did those studies. I think we as a foreign affairs committee do not need to say our study is complete at a certain point. I think it's very important that this committee make sure that Ukraine is constantly on our radar and that we are constantly aware of what is happening there. That is one of the key roles of this committee. I think in the last committee, that was something we did well on towards the beginning and in the middle, but not so much at the end. It's something I would like to see us be able to continue going forward with.
But I digress. Let me read the motion with my amendment, please.
That, in relation to the study of the export of Russian Gazprom turbines, the committee (a) hold one additional meeting to invite witnesses from the existing lists; (b) at a separate hearing, bring representatives of Siemens and of Canadian Gas Association to testify for two hours; (c) at a separate hearing, invite the Minister of Foreign Affairs to appear for two hours to provide an update on the turbine issue and other Ukraine-related developments; (d) instruct staff to prepare a draft report on the committee's study on Ukraine, including the sanctions waiver; and, (e) conduct a study of the Canadian sanctions regime in general, with details to be defined later.
The change—just to make it very clear for all—would be to have one additional meeting. That meeting would have representatives from Siemens and the Canadian Gas Association, and the Minister of Foreign Affairs would appear for two hours before committee to provide an update on not just the turbine issue but also other Ukraine-related developments.
