Thanks, Mr. Chair.
One thing we haven't talked about as part of the motion is the scope that has been presented as part of the original motion that was presented to the committee.
As I am reading through this, I look at the photonics, the artificial intelligence and the quantum theory. Again, I'm going to go back to what I talked about earlier: Many of these issues are being studied at other committees. I am wondering whether there is an opportunity to take out or to add language to the study to get at that overlap that I've referenced several times here today.
I know this issue isn't new to the members opposite. I think some of them have even participated in other committees on the same issue.
I just wonder if there is an opportunity—and I'll start with maybe amending it by removing Huawei, if I could—to start to narrow it down and make it very generic instead of specific. I think that may help us in terms of choosing witnesses and then coming up with recommendations in the end that will serve to help us with either government legislation or investments.
At this point in time, I would, as a start, remove Huawei from the recommendation that's been put forward, unless there is unanimous consent and we can all agree upon that. It doesn't mean that someone can't ask a witness to come in and speak to those issues—
