I move:
That, given that committee members, staff, the clerk, analysts and witnesses worked hard to produce the report entitled “The Holding of a National Forum on the Media” during the first session of the 44th Parliament, and given that the government did not table a response because of the prorogation of Parliament, the committee deem that it has undertaken and completed a study on “The Holding of a National Forum on the Media” pursuant to Standing Order 108, and that it adopt that report as a report from this committee; pursuant to Standing Order 109, that the committee request the government to table a comprehensive response to the report; that supplementary or dissenting reports that accompanied the report in the previous session of Parliament be tabled with the main report; and that the Chair present the report to the House.
For those who are maybe new to the committee, I'll put that in layman's terms, if I may. Basically, in the last Parliament, there was a study done with regards to the national media. A report was drafted. Dissenting reports were drafted. It was ready to be tabled in the House of Commons, but unfortunately, the tabling didn't transpire because Parliament prorogued. There was no other reason for it not to happen. I'm seeking the consent of this committee to take that report and make sure that it is, in fact, tabled so that work is actually on the record rather than in the trash can.
