Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to thank all of the officials. I don't think we actually realized how many officials are here today. Mr. Dykstra and I were just talking about the amount of effort that has probably gone into preparing for this. So thank you for your efforts.
I have a very quick question, two questions, and then I'll hand it over to Mr. Dykstra.
This is to Finance officials, referring to parts 8 and 9, where we're dealing with payments to provinces and territories, and payments to certain entities. Whoever this question may go to, first of all, where does the funding come from?
Secondly, we're in a minority Parliament. We keep hearing threats of elections. We'd like to get this through as fast as possible. What happens if we don't get Bill C-50 passed before this House rises?
