Good afternoon, everyone.
We will now begin the 83rd meeting of our committee.
During our first hour, we will be continuing our study of Bill C-461. We have with us Mr. Rathgeber, the member who sponsored Bill C-461. We ran out of time when Mr. Rathgeber was last here, and the committee wanted to invite him to appear again. First, he will spend a few minutes making his statement, and then the committee will have a chance to ask questions, as usual.
I will now hand the floor over to Mr. Rathgeber, so he can make his presentation.
Please go ahead, Mr. Rathgeber. And thank you for joining us again.
