Thank you, Madam Chair.
When I first read through this, my opinion on the motion was that I thought most of it was okay, but I would like, in the first part, to have a very clear reference to the two very important studies that are before this committee, because, let's face it, foreign interference is a very clear and present danger to Canada right now. I would like to have references to both the Russian interference and disinformation campaign in Canada and also the electoral interference and criminal activities in Canada by agents of the government in India.
I suppose how I would change that first paragraph would be by having it say, “That, once the committee has concluded the study on Russian interference and disinformation campaigns in Canada and the study on electoral interference and criminal activities in Canada by agents of the government in India, the committee proceed to the following matters in order”. I'm fine with the rest of it.
I'm not sure if I want to specify the exact number of meetings at this point, because I think we as a committee need to figure out how many more we're going to need.
That would be my amendment to the motion.
