The Chair Liberal Ben Carr

As everyone knows, Mr. Ste‑Marie has a vote with some influence in cases like this.

We can vote if you want, but we can also simply agree.

(Amendment agreed to)

(Motion as amended agreed to [See Minutes of Proceedings])

We're now going to move on with the final task before us today, which is the adoption of the defence industrial strategy report. The challenge we have—and Mr. Small, this will involve you—is that we have to go in camera.

We're briefly suspended.
