I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 93 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 requests for contracts between the federal government and electric vehicle battery manufacturing companies.
I will remind you not to put your earpieces next to the microphones. This causes feedback and potential injury to our valued translators.
When the meeting was adjourned on Friday, we were debating an amendment moved by Mr. Sousa. We are resuming debate on the amendment.
I see already that Mr. Masse has his hand up.
