There was an attempt. I now have to decide whether I have to move the amendment so that we can move forward. I don't think that's a bad idea. I have always said that we need to move forward and meet with the witnesses and the bereaved families.
Mr. Chair, given that, according to procedure, a member can't move an amendment to their own motion, I'd like to move an amendment.
I propose to divide the motion into two parts. The part of the motion asking the government to provide documents to the committee can stay as it is so that we can return to it later.
I propose to amend the other part of the motion so that it reads as follows:
That the committee add two additional meetings of two hours each as part of the study of the changing landscape of truck drivers in Canada, so that in the first meeting, it can hear testimony from victims of heavy trucks in camera, if witnesses would prefer, and representatives of Justice for Truck Drivers, the Caledon Community Road Safety Advocacy Group (CCRSA), and The Joy Smith Foundation, and in the second meeting, testimony from representatives of 6S Trinity Transport, J+R Hall Trucking, Dan Express, Carmen Transportation, Ludwig Transport Limited, Ontario Trucking Association, BC Trucking Association, the Association des professionnels du dépannage du Québec, and Canada Post; and that drafting instructions to enable the development of a comprehensive report to the House of Commons be provided by the committee immediately after this testimony.
