Thank you, Madam Chair.
I want to thank my colleague for bringing this motion forward. I think we all want to get some answers about what has been transpiring.
I am going to propose an amendment, and I hope it's acceptable to the mover and the committee. We have a broader study where we can do a deeper dive on this. My Liberal colleague brought it forward last week, I think it was.
Since Mr. MacGregor provided this motion, the Emergencies Act has been invoked, and part of that act legislates a parliamentary review committee to review the actions under the act. In addition, the agencies named in this motion, rightly so, are focused on the emergency that is transpiring across our country right now.
I would propose that the motion be amended after “as soon as possible”, by adding the words “following the revocation or expiry of the emergencies act”.
In that way, we would be able to get answers from these agencies. The emergency is happening while we're speaking, and they will not be at liberty to talk about what's happening operationally. So basically it would be that the groups and the minister named in the member's motion would come as soon as possible after the the Emergencies Act expires.
