I call the meeting back to order.
We'll go back to the Afghanistan letter and press release. As you all know, the discussion regarding the draft letter was previously done in camera. I would ask all members to be careful about disclosing information that has been decided or discussed in camera.
We are discussing the motion of Mr. McLean. Does the committee want me to read the motion?
The motion is the following:
That regarding the draft letter concerning the government's response to the Final Report of the Special Committee on Afghanistan as sent to committee members on May 21, 2024, the paragraphs numbered 19, 20 and 23 be deemed adopted without amendment; that the letter and news release be then deemed adopted; that the chair be then instructed to transmit the letter to the Minister of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship on the second business day following the adoption of this motion; that the chair then issue the news release on behalf of the committee immediately upon transmitting the letter to the minister; that the letter and the news release be then posted to the committee’s website; and that the study be then deemed concluded.
At the time of the suspension on Monday, June 17, Mr. Chiang had the floor. The following were on the list to debate the motion after Mr. Chiang: MP El-Khoury and MP Kayabaga.
Mr. Chiang, I know that you had a good rest and that you are prepared to have a shorter speech today.
The floor is yours, Mr. Chiang. Go ahead, please.
