Madam Chair, I have a question before we begin consideration.
I'd like to know why, in his proposed amendment, my colleague wants to delete the part of the motion ordering the production of documents from the offices of all the ministers mentioned: the Prime Minister's Office, the Office of the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Office of the Minister of Intergovernmental Affairs, Infrastructure and Communities, the Office of the Minister of Justice and Attorney General of Canada and the Office of the Minister of Public Safety. Under the proposed amendment, no politician would be held accountable for foreign interference, only departments.
I'd like to know why my colleague deliberately chose to delete the part of the motion specifically stating that all the ministerial offices would be ordered to produce memoranda and relevant documents.
