I call this meeting to order. This is the 87th meeting of the Standing Committee on Finance. The orders of the day are pursuant to the order of reference of Tuesday, October 30, 2012, our study of Bill C-45, A second Act to implement certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on March 29, 2012 and other measures.
We're pleased to welcome back officials from the Department of Finance to be with us today on the second look at this budget implementation bill.
Colleagues, at our last meeting we finished discussions on the corporate mineral exploration and development tax credit. The next area is the Atlantic investment tax credit, oil and gas and mining.
I've had some discussions with you. I'm going to identify the section. I'm going to ask if there are questions, and if there are, we can move right to questions and then have the officials respond. There's a fair amount to get through in the next two days, and we hope to finish with officials in this meeting and the next meeting, so that's how I will proceed.
Are there any questions dealing with part 1(g), which is the Atlantic investment tax credit, oil and gas and mining?
Mr. Cuzner, please.
