Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Wiseman and Mr. Lemaire, thank you both for being here and helping guide our committee through its study of Bill C-280.
I also have some questions on the credit issue. It's not the first time I've heard this brought up. I think it's the first time it's come up from a witness, Mr. Wiseman.
I've heard from the government, through conversations we've had in advance of this bill, that there were some concerns about that. I've also had conversations with the staff of the CPMA. I believe in one of those conversations there was a lot of talk about the United States and how, in fact, having this trust actually adds more stability, which might encourage lenders to look more favourably on the person who's needing access to that credit.
I think there was reference to industry having provided a white paper by a lawyer or an economist whose firm had worked with banks on both sides of the border in support of this.
Mr. Lemaire, are you aware of that? Is that document something that could be produced and tabled with this committee so that all members could have access to it?
