I, for one, tend to agree with the criticism raised so far; this issue is better suited to the Standing Committee on Industry and Technology. In the motion that deals with travellers, it talks about impacts on the tourism industry. I don’t think that’s really relevant to our committee. However, it does mention cross-border trade. Perhaps I should direct a question to the mover of the motion.
I’d like to know if he’s open to the idea of amending his motion so that, if necessary, we focus only on cross-border trade. If he is open to that, we would only need one sitting, not two. I’m throwing the idea out there.
I will not accept the motion as it stands now. On the other hand, if the amendment passes and we can focus on the subject matter pertaining to our committee, I am prepared to accept it.
