Thank you, Mr. Chair. I appreciate the Liberals' bringing back this motion.
We broadly support it, though I would make one amendment, which I'll move now. Rather than reading the entire study, unless colleagues would appreciate that, as it's a very small amendment, I think we'll put it together rather easily. It's in the second paragraph, third line. I'll read it as amended:
that the committee invite ministers and representatives from the Department of National Defence and the Department of Innovation, Science and Economic Development....
That is my amendment. Again, it's just to include the ministers in this study. I think I made this point last time, but I'll make it again today. I appreciate that Liberal members and this committee are interested in reviewing a potential defence industrial policy for Canada. I think that's quite a significant area we can focus on as a committee, a quite robust area of study, and it would certainly be worthwhile that the ministers come and speak to us about that.
In particular, I know that Minister Joly has spoken publicly, on social media, about her position on this quite frequently since her appointment, so I imagine that she would welcome the opportunity to come and speak to the committee about her perspective on potential industrial policy in the defence space.
