Madam Speaker, it is a pleasure to serve on the health committee with my hon. colleague.
I understand his two main objections to this motion, but I respectfully suggest that they are completely incorrect. First, he says that there is no focus to this motion. The production aspect of this motion specifically directs the committee to request documents related to Canada's early pandemic warning system, our testing protocols, our PPE readiness and our vaccine development and distribution. This is very focused and targeted. Second, in terms of where the motion directs us to go, it specifically says that we can go anywhere we like and lists a bunch of potential topics for the committee to study.
If the member believes that the motion is too broad or the production is too broad, why is he not proposing an amendment to the motion that sets out what the Liberals would agree to?
