Thanks very much, Ms. Yip.
Thank you, Chair.
Chair, I take note of the concerns of the opposition, especially with the motion they moved with respect to what programming in this committee looks like.
I think, with respect to what we're discussing today—and what we have been discussing over the past number of weeks, months and perhaps years—I would like to move the following motion:
That, notwithstanding any previous decision of the committee, in relation to the committee’s future business, it be agreed that:
1. Any further meetings on Report 8, Canada Emergency Business Account, take place after January 27, 2025—
That's when we come back to the House.
2. One meeting be dedicated to the study of Report 1, ArriveCAN;
3. At the conclusion of the meeting on Report 1, ArriveCAN, no more meetings be conducted to hear from witnesses in relation to Report 1, ArriveCAN;
4. Two meetings be dedicated to the study of Report 6, Sustainable Development Technology Canada, for the purposes of hearing from Zoe Kolbuc, Andrew Noseworthy and the Minister of Innovation, Science, and Industry;
5. At the conclusion of the second meeting on Report 6, no more meetings be conducted to hear from witnesses in relation to Report 6, Sustainable Development Technology Canada;
6. Two meetings be dedicated to Report 11, Programs to Assist Seniors;
7. Two meetings be dedicated to Report 9, Digital Validation of Identity to Access Services;
8. The chair schedule at least two meetings for the consideration of draft reports [for all of the above]; and,
9. Notwithstanding a meeting called pursuant to Standing Order 106(4), no meetings of the committee or subcommittee be held during Parliament’s adjournment from December 18, 2024 to January 26, 2025.
