Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. My apologies for joining the committee late.
I am going to start off my time by moving the motion that I put on notice last week. It's a lengthy motion. I do not intend to read it into the record, but I would just read the first part:
That, in the context of its study of the government’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic and pursuant to Standing Order 108(1)(a), the committee send for the following documents to be provided by the government by Friday, June 26, 2020:
I believe all members have the 11 points that make up my motion. I acknowledge that it's a broader quest for documents, but transparency during this time is very important. It's important all the time, but certainly during this unprecedented time. There is a deadline that I think reflects the importance of that transparency. It allows for reasonable time for the documents to be collected.
I table that motion for consideration by the committee today, and then I will turn the rest of my time over to my colleague Mr. Genuis.
