No. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

The motion says:

That, in relation to the Government of Canada's recent $2.1-billion loan to Telesat, the committee agree to hold two meetings examining the feasibility and business case justifying the deal—

The current motion says “within 14 days”. We'll have to amend that, but I'll read it in now because that's what's on motion:

—within 14 days of the adoption of this motion, and the committee agree to invite the following witnesses: Francis Bilodeau, acting deputy minister of ISED, and Daniel Goldberg, the CEO of Telesat.
