Thank you, Chair.
I have a number of motions that I will present.
The first motion is with regard to the main estimates: “That the committee call upon the Minister of Transport and officials from the Standing Committee on Transport, Infrastructure and Communities to discuss the spending priorities outlined in the main estimates, and this meeting occur before November 20, 2020.”
I'll move on to my motions for our proposed studies as well, to add to that from my Liberal colleague.
Our first motion is as follows: “That, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), the committee undertake a study of four meetings in regard to Transport Canada's aircraft certification process, including, but not limited to, the nature of Transport Canada's relationship to the Federal Aviation Administration and other certifying bodies, as well as the role of airplane manufacturers in the certification process; that the evidence and documentation received by the committee during the first session of the 43rd Parliament on the subject be taken into consideration by the committee in the current session; that the committee completes its study by November 27, 2020; and that the committee present its findings and recommendations to the House.”
Mr. Chair, this is just to complete the study that began prior to prorogation. I believe we have an obligation to Canadians and affected parties to conclude this study and make our recommendations.
I'll go on to my next motion with regard to studies:
That the Committee undertake a study of four meetings on the impact of COVID-19 on the aviation sector; and that the Committee report its findings and recommendations to the House.
