I thought we kind of agreed as a group that Mr. Kusmierczyk and Mr. Green would get together and propose this, perhaps at the next meeting, with the intent to have some teeth put into this.
I'm a bit disappointed that you would seem to cut Mr. Green out of this without his input. We studied almost half of this in the 42nd Parliament. The government has sat on its hands and done absolutely nothing toward it. We studied procurement for women-owned businesses and also indigenous-owned. We've done half of it and the government has done nothing.
That's why I'd suggest that perhaps, in good faith, you and Mr. Green—especially because Mr. Green is kind of leading this to begin with—would get together and hash out a motion that we could all agree on and that would actually have some teeth behind it.
As such, I think perhaps I'll put a motion forward that we should adjourn this to allow Mr. Kusmierczyk and Mr. Green time to work it out for the betterment of the committee and for Canadians in general.
