The Chair Conservative James Rajotte

I call to order the 25th meeting of the Standing Committee on Finance. Our agenda today is to discuss the Canada Revenue Agency's main estimates for 2009-10.

We have with us here today three officials from the Canada Revenue Agency, and we should have four officials from the Department of Finance. We'll have a two-hour meeting on the estimates.

I believe, Mr. Baker, you'll be presenting for the CRA. Then, Ms. Harrison, are you presenting for the department?

So we'll start with you, Mr. Baker, for your opening statement please.
