Matthew Holmes, Jonathan Arnold, Bea Bruske, Heather Exner-Pirot, Dan Wicklum and Daniel Cloutier made statements and, with Bryan Detchou and Alex Callahan, answered questions.

Jeremy Patzer moved, — That, in light of multiple news outlets reporting that Qatar is housing the leadership of Hamas; and given the fact that Qatar is now the preferred choice to supply liquified natural gas (LNG) to our G7 allies in Germany, France, and Japan; and given the fact that Qatar and Shell plc have signed a supply deal for the Netherlands, the committee recognize that there is not only a business case for Canadian LNG but a moral case as well; and that this committee report to the House its recommendation that the Liberal Government champion the export of Canadian LNG.
