Thank you, Mr. Chair.
This amendment is quite extensive. It does presuppose a lot of what the study was intended to do. There are a number of questions that are posed in here that are very easily accessible on Stats Canada. I don't know. It's a bit performative to have some of these points in here. It's like they don't really want to do a proper study on housing, homelessness and tent cities.
The amendments that the Liberals are proposing are very prescriptive. The purpose for our motion was to be very general, so that we could bring in and hear all kinds of testimony from all different interested parties at the table here. Whatever came of that, then that's the information we would have. This is basically very prescriptive. It wasn't the original intent.
I do appreciate your stance, Chair, for calling this out of order. It's unfortunate that the Liberal-NDP coalition is strong here in trying to actually presuppose this study before it even happens. That wasn't our intent.
Our intent was to actually have a very good, wholesome study where we could bring in all kinds of witnesses and really hear from all different types of stakeholders. This is going to very much restrict our ability to do that.
