Thanks.
Thanks to my colleagues from the Conservatives.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to thank all the people who are here to help us with this process.
We all care about the same issue. We may have come to an agreement to find a way forward.
With this in mind, I would now like to move an amendment proposing five changes to the motion before us.
The first change would be to add “as well as the Prime Minister's Office” after the word “Employment” and before the word “forward”.
The second change would be to replace “30 days” with “60 days”, in order to provide a reasonable amount of time to prepare the documents.
The third change would be to replace “2018” with “2022” and to add “and that Departments and Agencies tasked with producing the documents apply redactions as per legal obligations under the Privacy Act and Access to Information Act”.
The fourth change would be to replace “two” with “three” in terms of the number of meetings. Given our witness list, we could fit this into three meetings.
The fifth change would be to add the following text after “Canada Post”:
and the Association des professionnels du dépannage du Québec; and in the third meeting, testimony from representatives of BC Trucking Association, Ontario Trucking Association, Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators (CCMTA), and the Alberta Motor Transportation Association; That, immediately following these meetings, the committee, pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), undertake a five‑meeting study on what is needed to support, diversify, and modernize Quebec and Canada's ports to find new markets to reduce reliance on the United States; that the committee report its findings to the House; and that, pursuant to Standing Order 109, the government table a comprehensive response to the report.
