I call the meeting to order.
We are here pursuant to the order of reference of Tuesday, May 15, 2007: Bill C-52, an act to implement certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on March 19, 2007.
Welcome back, colleagues, and welcome to our guests today. We appreciate your being here. I understand there was some last-minute juggling, and we appreciate very much your ability to accommodate our changes in scheduling as well.
You've each been told that you have five minutes to make opening comments. I will give you a visual indication that you have a minute remaining, and then we'll unceremoniously cut you off at five minutes to give time for an exchange with the members of our committee.
Go ahead, Mr. McKay, on a point of order.
