Thank you so much, Chair.
I don't want to take much time out, because I know we're running late and we want to hear from our witnesses, but I do want to make the committee aware that I will be bringing forward a motion. I'm going to read it into the record, but I'm not here to debate it today. The motion is:
That, given the fact that the parliamentary committee on Natural Resources has a mandate to examine issues of natural resource policy on behalf of the Canadian people; and given the fact that the committee is attempting to get answers regarding the ownership structure of Paper Excellence that is now reported to be holding 22 million hectares of Canadian forests; and given public reports that this company [has relations with] Asia Pulp and Paper as part of the holdings of the giant Indonesian company Sinar Mas; and that given the outstanding concerns about connections to China based banks and industrial operations, that pursuant to Standing Order 108(1)(a) the committee issue a summons for Jackson Wijaya, of Paper Excellence, to appear at a date and time to be determined by the Chair, but no later than June 20, 2023.
