Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. Masse, for giving notice of this on Monday and tabling it today. I won't prolong the discussion other than to say we agree with it. As you said, I think this has been given short shrift. Everybody says, “Put stuff forward at finance committee.” The finance committee has 52 pre-budget consultation meetings and nothing can wedge in between. That's important work.
I would like to propose an amendment to the motion.
The amendment would be to leave everything there as is but to add a new sentence where the last sentence ends with “consumer advocacy groups, and representatives from the credit card industry”. We'd add “and that the committee begin consideration of this study within 14 days following the adoption of this motion.”
