I call this meeting back to order.
Good afternoon, everyone.
Welcome.
This is a resumption of meeting number 32 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on National Defence, which started on Friday, May 21, 2021.
If interpretation is lost, please let me know immediately in order for us to ensure that everyone has an opportunity to fully participate in the proceedings. When speaking—as always, I'm saying that to me as much as anyone else—please speak slowly and clearly. When you're not speaking, your mike should be on mute.
With regard to a speaking list, the clerk and I will do the best we can to maintain a consolidated order of speaking for all members, whether they're participating virtually or in person.
We are resuming debate on Mr. Bagnell's amendment to Mr. Bezan's motion.
Mr. Spengemann had the floor.
