I can, but I did provide it by email to the clerk.
I'll read it again:
That the motion be amended a) by adding, immediately after the words "dates and times determined by the Chair of the Committee,", in both places where they appear, the following: "and with such accessibility accommodations which the witnesses may request and the Chair agrees to provide,"; and (b) by replacing the word "fourteen" with "21".
That is the amendment. It has been sent to the clerk in writing in one of the two official languages, so I gather that it will be a few minutes before it can be distributed.
This is about trying to work collaboratively on aspects of the process, but the main point, Chair, remains—as I think Mr. Green very ably put it—that this committee, all parliamentary committees, have important powers that they can exercise and, in this case, the committee must exercise those powers in order to get to the truth.
Comments have been made by other members about possible reasons or excuses that various witnesses have made. We've had multiple witnesses make excuses, not just one. We've had various instances of these excuses being made.
These two people, Kristian Firth and Mr. Anthony, are at the centre of this scandal. Their testimony is vitally necessary for this committee to be able to do its work. No excuse has been supported by any kind of evidence or documentation. It's time to stop this charade of more excuses and more asks and to insist that they appear.
The other point I'll make is that this motion is not punitive. This motion insists that the will of the committee be followed. If the people who are summoned comply with this motion, there will be no further consequences. This doesn't propose, for example, to imprison them for six months regardless of whether or not they appear. It simply proposes to use all of the tools we have to insist that they appear and then, after they appear, any consequences associated with this motion disappear. It is just a motion that applies the necessary corrective measure to get the result that we all need so that parliamentary committees can properly do their job.
I'll leave it there.
