Thanks, Mr. Chairman.
Through you to Madame Zarillo, it's a terrific motion. As was noted earlier, a number of motions have been presented to the committee that speak to labour shortages. I'm certainly supportive of what's in front of us here, but I wonder if there was an opportunity for some massaging of the language. If you would provide me an opportunity to present an amendment, I'd like to put it to the committee for members' consideration.
I'll read it out. If you need me to read it again, I'm certainly willing to do so. It is as follows: “That, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), the committee undertake a study of the labour shortages and workers' conditions within the care economy, including healthcare workers, personal support workers and child care workers who have been on the front lines of COVID-19, and examine how the government, in collaboration with the provinces and territories, could improve working conditions in the care economy; that the committee proceed to an overview of the impact of the labour shortages in the Canadian workforce in the first meeting of the study; that the committee invite the Minister of Employment, Workforce Development and Disability and Inclusion, experts, and departmental officials to testify; that the committee hold at least six meetings; and that the committee report its findings and recommendations to the House.”
Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I don't know if you have all of that, or whether the clerk needs anything from me in that regard.
Essentially, it's changing the language in the middle of the motion and adding another meeting to the study.
