Thank you, Chair.
I appreciate this opportunity to speak to Mr. Turnbull's motion. I just want to read an original notice of motion that was moved, debated, amended and unanimously agreed upon on February 2. That was the motion that I tabled and that had the consensus of the committee.
I'm just going to read the original motion, if that's okay:
That, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), the committee undertake a study on the impact of COVID-19 on the financial, social, health and overall well-being of seniors; that the committee review existing and announced programs for seniors and make recommendations to improve support for seniors; that the study be comprised of no less than six two-hour meetings; that the committee invite the Minister of Seniors and departmental officials to appear for one hour each; that the committee, pursuant to Standing Order 109, present its findings with recommendations to the House; and that the committee request that the government provide a comprehensive response.
When we debated this on February 2, it was amended.
