Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Given the importance of ensuring that the Department of National Defence has the best possible equipment for many years into the future, I am asking the committee to support this motion, as put forward by Ms. Normandin:
That, considering the joint statement of the respective Premiers of Quebec and Ontario dated November 7, 2023, concerning the public procurement of CP‑140 Aurora by the federal government, the committee is of the opinion that the government must proceed by way of a formal call for tenders before awarding any procurement contract to this effect. That the Chair of the committee immediately report this resolution of the committee to the House.
You should receive the motion in the next couple of seconds.
