I call this meeting to order.
This is the 72nd meeting of the Standing Committee on Finance. Our orders today are a study of Bill C-28, an Act to Amend the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada Act.
We are very pleased to have with us the Hon. Ted Menzies, the Minister of State for Finance, a former very hard-working member of this committee.
It's wonderful to have you back, Minister Menzies. You have some officials with you. Perhaps I'll let you introduce your officials and give your opening statement, and then we'll have questions from members of the committee.
