Thank you very much.
One of the reasons we ask for 48 hours' notice to consider a motion is that it gives us time to study the wording of the motions and see if there are things that can be added to them or not. Since I only received these draft motions this afternoon, it is difficult for me, as the critic for infrastructure, to say whether the motion covers exactly all the topics we need to deal with.
For example, in the minister's mandate letter, the Prime Minister mandates the Canada Infrastructure Bank to bring high-speed Internet service to every Canadian home and business by 2030. This is an extremely important part of a study that we are going to do on Internet service, to see what the Canada Infrastructure Bank's plan will be to carry out that part of the mandate that has been given to four ministers: the Minister for Women and Gender Equality and Rural Economic Development, the Minister of Innovation, Science and Industry, the Minister of Canadian Heritage, and the Minister of Infrastructure and Communities.
I want to advise members of the committee that I'm going to move some amendments to this motion. It is indeed a major issue, I agree, but I will certainly amend this motion. I would in fact like to have the clerk's advice in this regard.
Madam Clerk, how do I amend a motion once we've passed it? Do I just speak up and say I want to amend this motion or that motion, or do I have to have the consent of the sponsor of the motion to amend it?
