We can talk later, Rick.
I understand that INDU is currently studying this matter and that there's a motion at INDU—and I believe Mr. Perkins was there today—to invite the minister to talk about these contracts. It feels to me this is a very reasonable line of enquiry. It seems to me it would be important, before this motion comes forward, that we hear from the minister and ask the minister questions, and that we hear from the Building Trades Unions and the other unions involved and understand specifically what their concerns are.
My impression of their concerns is somewhat different from what Mr. Perkins articulated. I agree that they're concerned about the use of foreign workers. My understanding is not that they want these contracts to be aired publicly, so I think that getting some clarity on that fact will be very helpful. Most of all, I think this is better discussed and this motion will be better placed at INDU, because they're currently embarking on a study—or rather, they're already studying this very topic. That's my understanding.
I'm going to make an amendment that we insert the following words at the beginning of the motion, “That the committee refer the following motion to the Standing Committee on Industry and Technology.” That would go right before “In regards”.
