Just on a point of information, the subamendment you read mentioned “February 11”. Was it in actuality February 15? I just have a question on that.

Thank you, Chair.
I just want to again thank our NDP colleague for the amendments to this motion, for making them far more reasonable and respecting the situation that we are now in across our country. We will be supporting his amendment. It's something that is important for this committee to hear.
I do wish that we were hearing from these folks later, but as soon as we're finished this current study, we are commencing a study on IMVE. We will be able to hear from some of the players who have been involved in this challenge, this attack on our democracy, so I think it may be that we want to hear from these folks later during our study as to what happened, because we are right now in the midst of an emergency.
We will be supporting the NDP amendment. I thank my colleague for bringing it forward.
