Madam Chair, I'm new to this committee. Therefore, I'm not familiar with what has gone on in the past. I've read the testimony in connection with the report. It's important to assimilate all of this information in order to gain a better understanding of the situation.
I deeply regret our having to debate this motion today. While I believe the aim of the motion is positive, I think we're being forced into voting on something that isn't clear to us. I find that most regrettable.
I have come here in good faith and I support the first part of the motion. The only amendment that is needed is the addition of the word “notably” in the English version, to correspond with the word “notamment” in the French version.
I wouldn't want the actions of committee members to be restricted because a motion was introduced saying that the government could direct out work. That isn't right.
Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
