I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 54 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security.
We will start by acknowledging that we are meeting on the traditional unceded territory of the Algonquin people.
Today's meeting is taking place in a hybrid format, pursuant to the House order of November 25, 2021. Members are attending in person in the room and remotely using the Zoom application. The meeting is public.
Pursuant to Standing Order 106(4), the committee is commencing consideration of the request by seven members of the committee to discuss their request regarding the need to hear witnesses on the proposal contained in amendment G-4 to Bill C-21.
I would also like to take a moment to recognize our former chair, the late Honourable Jim Carr, and I wonder if we could all have a minute of silence.
[A moment of silence observed]
Thank you all.
We will commence.
Madame Michaud, please move your motion. Then, I believe, Mr. Noormohamed would like to respond to it, and then Ms. Dancho.
