I too thank Ms. Khalid for bringing this forward. I think it is an important motion.
I can't really add to the comments from Mr. Nicholson or Ms. Khalid. I've had a number of representations in my office from people who are concerned about this very subject. I certainly will support this. I would be prepared to vote on this today.

No, it's just because it only got circulated this afternoon. Thoughts?
Is everybody good to vote?
All right. Those in favour of undertaking the study?
(Motion agreed to [See Minutes of Proceedings])
Okay. It's on the list we have for a number of studies. My guess is that when we get to the end of Bill C-46, provided we have no other bills before us, we'll decide at that point what study we want to undertake first.
Out of deference to Mr. Boissonnault, we'll come back to his notice of motion when he joins us today. Is that good with everybody?
3:45 p.m.
Some hon. members
Agreed.
