Industry committee  I have MP Lambropoulos, then I have MP Jaczek and MP Ehsassi.

Industry committee  To clarify, we cannot actually extend our meetings more than an additional hour. Our current slots are Tuesday and Thursday from 11 to 1. We could possibly go from 11 to 2, but then we have question period, and we cannot add an hour earlier in the morning because of other committee slots and time differences.

Industry committee  Next we have MP Ehsassi, and then MP Cumming.

Industry committee  MP Cumming.

Industry committee  MP Ehsassi.

Industry committee  Okay, we have an amendment on the floor. I see MP Jowhari has his hand up.

Industry committee  MP Erskine-Smith?

Industry committee  MP Dreeshen.

Industry committee  Thank you very much. I'm just going to clarify one point for the members. Currently, the motion that is before the House that allows us to sit in a hybrid fashion goes only until December 11, not December 19, so in order for this committee to meet after December 11, it would have to be in person, unless there is a motion in the House adopted allowing us to do so.

Industry committee  Thank you so much. Before I turn to MP Lemire, I'll just explain that this motion has not been adopted yet, so we have not invited anyone until it is the will of the committee to proceed. Then we will invite witnesses accordingly. We have three meetings scheduled between now and December 11, and my understanding is that there are no additional slots available to accommodate additional meetings between now and December 11.

Industry committee  Thank you very much, Mr. Lemire. Yes, indeed, we were scheduled to meet with witnesses in sessions that we have moved today, in order to deal with this emergency motion pursuant to Standing Order 106(4). So the decision is the committee's. If the committee wants to push the other study back to next year, that is what we will do.

Industry committee  Okay. If it is the will of the committee, all in favour? Again, could you put your hands up. Opposed? (Amendment agreed to [See Minutes of Proceedings])

Industry committee  Thank you very much, Mr. Lemire. I can't really see the room, so I can't see you very well. We'll now go to the amendment as amended. Is there any further debate on it? The motion now reads, with paragraph (e), “the evolution of Canada's domestic vaccine manufacturing capacity and the steps Canada can and should take to address it”.

Industry committee  We have MP Lambropoulos, and then MP Cumming.

Industry committee  Thank you very much, MP Lambropoulos. MP Cumming.
