Yes, but I would like it to be known publicly that I would like to put this motion on the table.
The fact is that we've had numerous presenters here indicating to us that these illicit drugs are a problem and mainly are coming from China. We've had the Canada Border Services here. We've had the RCMP here. They've all indicated that the problem is China and the illicit drugs coming from there. We're talking about the “super drugs” like super fentanyl and carfentanil. These are drugs that could wipe out the population of Canada with some of the shipments that are coming here.
I do want to put the motion on the table right now, Mr. Chair:
That, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), the Committee call upon His Excellency Mr. Zhaohui LUO, Ambassador for the People's Republic of China to appear before this Committee to provide evidence as to the measures being taken by his Government to address the manufacture, distribution and sale of illicit opioids into Canada.
