Thank you, Mr. Chair.
As you know, we're missing the economic statement. I'm dying to hear if we're finally going to invest near the mines. If that had been done, we could have avoided a whole debate.
In the context of the contracts awarded to Stellantis‑LG and Volkswagen, if public money had been used close to the mines to develop the entire value chain, we could have avoided major debates today. However, legitimate questions are being asked, particularly where workers are concerned. A study must therefore be carried out.
As a result, I move an amendment to the effect that the proposed study should last six hours, maximum, instead of six meetings and that, at the end, documents should be produced in both official languages. This is fundamental. I think this amendment is a good complement to the motion modified by Mr. Masse's amendment and that we will find a consensus.
The presence of ministers will be particularly important. Very legitimate questions may be asked about the structure of the agreement and the investments that will be made, as well as their spinoffs for the Canadian and Quebec economies.
I support efforts to keep Canada and Quebec attractive to foreign investors. I'm afraid of the impact of this kind of motion that calls things into question. However, there are legitimate questions worth asking. It is for this reason that I will support the motion and propose that it be amended, firstly, so that the study lasts six hours and, secondly, so that the documents are translated into both official languages.
