Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I am interested to hear what our colleagues have to say about this as we talk about the motion.
I would say that I agree with Ms. Jaczek. This seems to be, on its face, more of a foreign affairs issue than a transport one, quite frankly. I think a lot of the information surrounding this case either is likely to be classified or has not been shared by Iran, which may mean that a study would be of limited use anyway.
I would say that, with regard to the point about the safer skies, Canada is leading our international efforts to forge a safer skies agreement that is going to create new protocols on how we manage airspace in conflict zones, and that could be worthy of a study, I think. It's not clear, if we were to proceed, that it would require five meetings. Again, the incoming information is going to be fairly limited.
As is always the case, we have a number of studies that are waiting to be dealt with, which we've already said we want to get to—more than we can realistically complete over the next year.
On a personal note, I would say that many Canadians were touched by this disaster. In fact, my own father's dentist was in this terrible tragedy, so it does reach a lot of people.
I am interested to hear more about what our colleagues have to say on this matter.
Thank you.
