I'm going to call the committee meeting to order.
Welcome, Mr. Layton. It's your bill that we're looking at.
Just to remind all the members, the first hour, from 3:30 until 4:30, we'll be hearing from Mr. Layton about Bill C-377. In the second hour we will have two people via teleconference.
Mr. Layton, we'd ask you if you could be approximately 10 minutes. That way we can get a round in for everybody for their questions for you. I'd like to welcome you on behalf of the committee. The time is yours.
