Thank you, Mr. McKinnon. I'm happy to have members have that clarification.
I will proceed. I think it's better if I lay out the amendment in its entirety first and leave the rationale for the different pieces until after I have enumerated the particular amendments. That way there won't be confusion about which parts are amendment and which parts are rationale. I think that's probably the most logical way to proceed.
There are no proposed changes to paragraphs 1 and 2 or the preamble. Then in part 3, I would like to add, after the word “invited”, the words “to appear separately for one hour each on the committee's” and then strike out the words “for the first hour of the meeting on Thursday, May 23, 2024, to”, then leave in the word “study”, add the word “of” and then leave in the words “the growing issue of auto theft in Canada; and that the Minister of Public Safety be invited”, then add, after “invited” the words “to appear separately”, then leave in the word “for” and add in the words “two hours”—
