I sure do, and thank you, Mr. Chair. I'll be as quick as I can here.
We're not moving the motion today, just the notice of motion. The notice says:
Given that the Minister of Innovation, Science and Economic Development has been explicitly tasked in his mandate letter from the Prime Minister to “work closely with the Minister of International Trade to help Canadian firms compete successfully in export markets,” and given that the International Monetary Fund (IMF) has raised concerns over Canada’s ability to compete with changes in the United States’ tax regime, that the Committee undertake a study of four meetings to review, among other things: i) the impact of any U.S.-imposed trade restrictions on the affected industries, ii) the impact of Canada’s tax regime on Canadian companies’ ability to compete with foreign-owned companies in Canada and abroad, and iii) the state of private sector investor confidence in Canada.
This is also rather timely today, Mr. Chair, due to the comments by the President of the United States. I hope to move this motion in the future.
Thank you.
