Thanks, Joël, and congratulations.
I agree with Sébastien. We do want to do that with the work done by the last committee. Brian, Sébastien and I are the holdovers. In the case of reports that we had already finalized as a matter of course as a committee, it would make sense for us to bring them back online so that the government at least is obligated to respond to them, as we'd expected before the last election. That all makes sense to me.
I would say, though, that it would probably make sense, given the timeline and that this is our first committee meeting, for a number of us to throw out ideas.
I quite like the idea of studying critical minerals. There are a range of considerations there, as our Conservative colleague laid out, but it probably makes sense to kick this to our agenda subcommittee so that we can hash out a timeline. We can meet between now and Christmas, or we could meet in January—informally, even—as a starting point to go back and forth on some ideas. I think there's going to be a lot of agreement as to where we want to go. There are lots of ideas.
In the last Parliament, most of our work was unanimous as we were studying competition, studying the Rogers-Shaw deal and studying competitiveness and affordability in the wireless Internet space.
Rather than tabling a series of motions today, my suggestion would be that we kick the conversation over to the subcommittee, which will probably be more efficient for all of us. We can get going today and get the work going as a subcommittee sooner rather than later.
