I call to order meeting number 12 of the Standing Committee on Finance.
Pursuant to the order of reference of Tuesday, October 29, 2013, we are continuing our study of Bill C-4, a second act to implement certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on March 21, 2013 and other measures. Colleagues, we are doing clause-by-clause consideration of this bill.
I'll remind you as your chair, that I'm operating according to the motion, moved by Mr. Saxton, and adopted by this committee on Tuesday, November 5. It's quite a lengthy motion. I know you are quite familiar with its contents.
We have a number of amendments proposed by many of the parties here with respect to certain clauses. My advice to the committee in terms of how we propose.... You obviously have a copy of the agenda in front of you. The agenda highlights which clauses have which amendments attached to them. If any of you need any additional information, please highlight that to the clerk. We have our legislative clerk here as well, if you need any procedural advice with respect to amendments.
I will delve into clause-by-clause consideration.
Pursuant to Standing Order 75(1), consideration of clause 1, short title, is postponed. Therefore, I'm going to move to clause 2.
I do not have an amendment until clause 14, so, colleagues, may I...?
Ms. Nash, go ahead, please.
