Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'll be quick on this, because I think that when we were putting together business for committee, we moved to bring in the minister but forgot to add the secretary of state; therefore, I want to amend this motion so that it is more relevant.
I'll take out “the Minister of National Defence and”, and we'll change “1 hour each” to just “2 hours”, and “mandates” will become “mandate”. Then it will read, “That the committee invite the Secretary of State (Defence Procurement) to appear before the committee for no less than 2 hours, within 14 days of the adoption of this motion, in relation to their mandate and NATO defence spending.”
