This stems from Minister Emerson indicating that he is proceeding with negotiations around a Canada-Korea bilateral agreement. As you know, Mr. Chair, as a committee we are looking to examine further that agreement.
There have been concerns raised outside the House by organizations in the community about possible job loss, so essentially what this motion does is indicate that we'll be hearing testimony about those concerns as well as hearing from those who support the proposed agreement, looking at alternatives around the agreement, and letting the House of Commons know that we are undertaking these hearings.
It is fairly straightforward, and hopefully we can quickly move on to the committee report. I move that motion.
