No, that is just reading into the record what the official government policy is. But you can take this next part as a motion, for which I'm going to ask for unanimous consent.
What Mr. Ash gave us was a well-articulated motion. I think we'll probably do away with the “Whereas” sections on the first page, but on the second page of Mr. Ash's submission are six points that appear under “Resolved, that the Government of Canada”.
I would like to ask my colleagues for unanimous consent--bearing in mind that the clerk and the researcher will need to wordsmith it to a degree--that this would be a statement from the committee to ask the government to affirm that this is resolved by the Government of Canada.
