Order, please.
This is meeting number 23 of the Standing Committee on Finance. For our orders of the day, we have Bill C-290, An Act to amend the Income Tax Act (tax credit for loss of retirement income).
Colleagues, we have two panels today of one hour each, so we have a very tight timeline.
Today, we have with us two colleagues from the House of Commons. First, Mr. André Bellavance, the member of Parliament for Richmond—Arthabaska, whom I welcome to the committee.
We also have with us Mr. Louis Plamondon, the member of Parliament for Bas-Richelieu—Nicolet—Bécancour, who is also the dean of the House of Commons. Welcome to you as well.
You have 10 minutes for your presentation. After that, committee members will have questions for you.
Mr. Bellavance, please.
