I do have it from the minutes. It's a motion by me that was passed by the committee. It said:
That the committee invite officials from Global Affairs Canada to provide a briefing on the situation in Tibet and Canada's relationship at the earliest opportunity as part of its ongoing study on Canada's relationship with China.
That was important to my support for the motion. The idea of reporting it to the House was basically an interim motion. Whether we should be reporting all this stuff to the House in the interim is a different question. We just passed the motion again, so we have it in front of us. It was also, from my point of view at least, contingent upon supporting the interim motion that we agreed to look further into this, because we had only heard from one person. We had not heard from any of the other stakeholders, and we didn't really have a briefing as a committee on that point.
It was one of those surprise motions, shall we say, that needed some thought and consideration before the committee was ready to adopt it, but we did indeed adopt it and I have no hesitation in readopting it today, the first one. I think this one here is important, and if it is in order, Mr. Chair, perhaps I would put that forward now for the committee's approval as a readoption of that motion. If that's the case, let me move:
That the committee invite officials from Global Affairs Canada to provide a briefing on the situation in Tibet and Canada's relationship at the earliest opportunity as part of its ongoing study on Canada's relationship with China.
