I call this meeting back into order.
Good afternoon and welcome, everyone.
This is a resumption of meeting number 32 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on National Defence, which started on Friday, May 21, 2021.
Please, if interpretation is lost, let us know immediately so that everyone has the opportunity to fully participate in the proceedings.
I will remind you that all comments by members should be addressed through the chair.
When speaking, again as a reminder to me as well as anybody else, please speak slowly and clearly. Our interpreters have been doing yeoman service, and we're asking an awful lot of them, so please do your very best to speak slowly and clearly, and give them a break because we all have a busy couple of weeks ahead of us and we're relying on them very heavily. Please be kind to our interpreters.
With regard to a speaking list, the clerk and I will do the best we can to maintain a consolidated order of speaking whether you're participating virtually or in person.
We are resuming debate on Mr. Bagnell's amendment to Mr. Bezan's motion.
Mr. Bagnell has the floor.
