Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
As everyone is aware, I'm substituting for Peter Julian today. He has a notice of motion that he wanted me to place before the committee, which I will do right now, given the vagaries of time in committee.
Mr. Julian would like to give notice that he plans to move the following motion:
That the Standing Committee on Public Safety and National Security hold a 2-hour meeting, immediately after the winter break, to study the possible impact of the Conservative Party of Canada's proposed motions and votes, on December 7, 2023, to cut each of the following Supplementary Estimate (B) items of a total of $659,805,933 related to public safety:
Canada Border Services Agency - cuts proposed of $23,051,792
Canadian Security Intelligence Service - cuts proposed of $32,964,572
Correctional Service [of Canada]- cuts proposed of $290,588,112
Courts Administration Service - cuts proposed of $22,743,433
Department of Public Safety and Emergency Preparedness - cuts proposed of $176,059,072
Royal Canadian Mounted Police - cuts proposed of $114,398,952
I'll send that off and people will be receiving that through the normal committee channels.
I felt that this was a good time to do that, because Ms. O'Connell has raised an important question. No matter what changes we might make in favour of providing victims with more support and more information in law, we have to carry that through with the resources needed to follow up on that.
I don't have a question at this point for Mr. Carrie. I thank him for the work he's done on this bill.
