I call this meeting back to order. 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.
Please let me know if there are any problems with interpretation, just so everyone can fully participate in the proceedings. When speaking—and I say this as much as a reminder to myself as to anyone else—please speak slowly and clearly. When you are not speaking, your mike should be on mute.
With regard to a speakers list, the committee clerk and I will do the best we can to maintain a consolidated order of speaking for all members, whether they are participating virtually or in person.
We are resuming debate on Mr. Bagnell’s amendment to Mr. Bezan’s motion. Mr. Baker had the floor.
Go ahead, Mr. Baker.
