Wonderful, thank you.
Do we have the French version of the new motion? If not, can Ms. Dabrusin move a new motion?

Can we suspend the meeting to make sure we get the document in French? That way, we will be able to discuss it in both official languages.

I think all parties agree on a motion. May I proceed with it now, Mr. Chair?

Julie Dabrusin Liberal Toronto—Danforth, ON
All right.
I move that:
That, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), the committee undertake a study on the Trans Mountain pipeline to determine how the cost to taxpayers spiralled out of control; to get clarity on plans to divest and sell off the now completed pipeline and the implications of such a sale to Canadian taxpayers and examine how such increases in export capacity will impact on a future cap on Greenhouse gas emissions and; That the committee invite the following witnesses from the following organizations to appear on Monday, June 17, 2024: First hour: i. Canadian Association of Petroleum Producers; ii. Environmental Defence; iii. Pathways Alliance, and; iv. A Conservative Witness (TBD). Second hour: i. Canada Energy Regulator. That the committee invite the Parliamentary Budget Officer to appear for the first hour on Thursday, June 20, 2024; that the committee invite the Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Finance and the Minister of Energy and Natural Resources, as well as experts in the economy and the environment to provide testimony; the committee hold six meetings for this study; that the study resume in September 2024, starting with two meetings on this study, and alternate, week by week, with the committee’s current study on Canada’s Electricity Grid and Network and that the committee report its findings and recommendations to the House and that, pursuant to Standing Order 109, the government table a comprehensive response to the report.
That's all.

Do we have unanimous consent for Ms. Dabrusin's motion? Is there any discussion?
Mr. Patzer, you have the floor.

Jeremy Patzer Conservative Cypress Hills—Grasslands, SK
Yes. The unanimous consent will be there.
I don't know if it was just in the interpretation but I thought I heard you come across as Monday, June 24. I think it was just reading 2024, the year, in there. It just came across, in my earpiece anyway, as Monday, June 24, which I know is not the right date. I'm assuming that it is Thursday, June 20, 2024, for the PBO to come. The interpreter then said in French that it was five meetings and, in English, six meetings. I just want to confirm that we have six meetings, not five meetings. That's what I'm reading in here: six meetings.
4:30 p.m.

Jeremy Patzer Conservative Cypress Hills—Grasslands, SK
I just want to confirm those two things: that it is Thursday, June 20 for that first hour, and then six meetings, not five. Correct?
4:30 p.m.
Liberal
Julie Dabrusin Liberal Toronto—Danforth, ON
That's right. I'm sorry. That's what I was trying to say.
On the 2024, you are correct, there's no June 24, 2024. What I was trying to correct is that there's a mistake between the French and the English versions that have been circulated. It should be six, in both languages.

The Vice-Chair Bloc Mario Simard
So it's June 20 and six meetings.
Is there unanimous consent to adopt the motion?
(Motion agreed to)
