Good morning, everyone. I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 92 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Government Operations and Estimates. Pursuant to Standing Order 106(4), the committee is meeting to resume consideration of a request for contracts between the federal government and electric vehicle battery manufacturing companies.
As a reminder, don't put earpieces near the microphones, as it causes feedback and potential injury to our valued translation team.
When the meeting adjourned yesterday, we were debating an amendment moved by Mr. Sousa. Therefore, we are resuming debate on the amendment by Mr. Sousa. From the speaking order, I see Mr. Masse, Mr. Sousa, Mr. Kusmierczyk and Ms. Atwin.
The floor is yours, Mr. Masse.
