Thank you, Chair.
Thank you to Mr. Simard for his motion. It's an important discussion for this committee, and it's timely because of the drafting of our report. It's a very serious issue. I'm always grateful for his advocacy for the forestry sector. It's a very important sector. We need to be here for affected communities and workers.
I would like to propose an amendment that would change two clauses.
First, I would like to change “summon” to “invite”. It's my understanding that you would invite before you summon, so that seems to be the more neighbourly way to begin this conversation with Domtar, if nothing else.
With regard to the final clause, because we have a forestry report under way, I propose that we replace the last paragraph with “That this testimony be included in the committee’s report on the forestry sector study.”
That's the amendment I move, Chair.
