I call this meeting to order, the 47th meeting of the Standing Committee on Finance.
Pursuant to the order of reference of Tuesday, February 14, 2012, we are considering Bill S-5, an act to amend the law governing financial institutions and to provide for related and consequential matters.
We have two panels with us here today, colleagues. In our first panel we're again very pleased to welcome back the Honourable Ted Menzies, the Minister of State for Finance.
