Yes, Mr. Chair.
This is very quick. I want to move the motion that I distributed to committee members earlier this week. It's a very simple motion.
Just to give you some background, in the previous Parliament the public safety committee produced quite a comprehensive report on systemic racism in policing in Canada. The purpose of my motion is to readopt that report and have the chair retable it in the House of Commons in this Parliament so that we may elicit a government response.
I'm going to make a slight amendment to it, because I think there is a part that's not necessary. I'm going to read it into the record so committee members understand what I'm doing. It goes as follows, Mr. Chair.
That, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), the committee undertake a study of systemic racism in policing in Canada;
That the evidence and documentation received by the committee during the 2nd Session of the 43rd Parliament on the subject be taken into consideration by the committee in the current session;
That the committee adopt the report entitled “Systemic Racism in Policing in Canada” adopted during the 2nd Session of the 43rd Parliament;
That, pursuant to Standing Order 109, the committee request the government to table a comprehensive response to the report;
That the Chair present the report to the House.
For committee members, what I've done is delete the part that asks for dissenting or supplementary opinions, because I believe all members provided those and they're already part of the report and I don't think we need to revisit it.
Mr. Clerk, I hope that's in order and that it reads clearly. I'll leave it at that for any comments.
