I'd like to welcome our guest, the Honourable Carol Skelton, the Minister of National Revenue.
Minister, thank you for being here. Thank you to your associates.
Committee members, I know you'll be pleased to note the presence today of our report, “Canada: Competing to Win”. As you see, it is lovely not only in its appearance but in its content as well. I look forward to hearing comments from all of you as you peruse the work that you've done over the last number of months.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and section 89 of the Canada Revenue Agency Act, this is the first five-year statutory review of the act. I understand the minister has some opening comments, and then we'll move, of course, to questions from the members of the committee.
Welcome, and over to you, Carol.
