Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I also support the motion, especially since, as we've seen in the media this week, there's a sort of emergency, perhaps even a public health emergency. The masks distributed in the House of Commons are falsely designated as approved by the United States Food and Drug Administration, or FDA. The approval was once in effect, but it has been withdrawn. We don't really know what we're putting on our faces when we wear these masks. We don't know whether the masks are good for our health. In contrast, here in Canada, we have excellent masks made by Canadian companies.
Regardless of the quantity available to the House of Commons and the Government of Canada for use in government buildings, I believe that these masks should be removed. The FDA stated that the masks aren't good for our health. This is also a public health issue.
I would be prepared to adopt the motion with the proposed amendment regarding Quebec, since we're all part of Canada. I would also add some text to the end of the motion about the person being addressed. I'll read the text that I would add:
That the chair of the committee write to the Speaker of the House of Commons to inform him of the situation and ask that measures be taken to resolve the situation before the date specified in the motion.
