Do I have members who want to speak on the motion?
I think we must add to the motion,
the following words: “that the committee conduct a study“
instead of
We, the undersigned members of the Standing Committee on National Defence, request that a meeting of our committee be convened, pursuant to Standing Order 106(4), in order to begin a study [...]
Instead of that, we would have:
[...] that the committee conduct a study on the next generation of fighter aircraft, the role and mission that would be assigned to this aircraft, the reason the government believes that a sole source contract is appropriate and the terms and conditions to be included in such a contract, such as a guarantee of regional economic benefits.
That's just to be sure. So that would be the motion.
(Motion agreed to)
I should say rather that it is passed unanimously.
Would the members like to tackle other topics? I think the goal of the meeting was achieved.
Go ahead, Mr. Bachand.
