The motion reads as follows:
That, in relation to the briefing on the use of national security exceptions, the committee invite the Minister of National Defence to appear before the committee no later than on Tuesday, May 30, 2017, to substantiate the use of the exception contained in subsection 3(1)(g) of the Government Contract Regulations regarding fighter jet procurement; and that every effort be made to ensure that the appearance of the minister be televised.
I will explain the reason for my motion for my Liberal and New Democrat colleagues.
May I explain why I am tabling this motion, Mr. Chair?
