I just want to point out that Mr. Hogan's French is starting to be outstanding. On the next trip, I won't be the only francophone with Mr. Malette.
I think we sent you the text of the proposed amendment because it's quite long. I'll read it quickly.
I move:
That the motion be amended by deleting the preamble and replacing the words “holds no fewer than 4 meetings to conduct a study on domestic Canadian energy security. That the committee present a report to the House on its findings and recommendations;” with the words “the Standing Committee on Natural Resources undertake an in-depth study on Canada's electrification, energy self-sufficiency and domestic energy security, with a particular focus on:
(a) Assessing the full potential of clean electricity technologies; b) Examining the challenges and solutions related to peak-power demand; (c) Examining the government's role in market diversification and industry development; (d) Determining the importance of the clean electricity sector in achieving net-zero emissions targets; e) Analyzing the implementation of public policies aimed at supporting electrification; f) Examining issues related to Canada's energy self-sufficiency and domestic energy security; and g) Respecting the jurisdictions of the provinces and territories.
That the committee invite any witness that it deems relevant to testify; That the committee hold at least six meetings as part of this study; That the committee report its findings and recommendations to the House; and That, pursuant to Standing Order 109, the committee request that the government table a comprehensive response to the report.
We have discussed this, Mr. Chair, and I think everyone agrees with this proposal. It is done by consensus, in love and friendship.
