Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I have three additional motions that I would like to bring forward for the committee's consideration.
Through the Chair, to Mr. El-Khoury, I apologize for not being able to read them in French passably. I'll work on that.

I assume that I'll go through these one at a time. I believe the clerk has copies of the motions. Maybe we can provide them, Mr. Chair.
