Thank you, Chair.
I have a brief comment. Mr. Caron will be taking most of our time on part 1 through part 4, where we will hopefully spend less of our time, with a significant amount of our interest. I say this for our officials, as it is good to have half the civil service with us here today, and we appreciate your being here. The sections on FATCA, certainly a large treaty with our largest trading partner, the Americans, preoccupies us a great deal, as well as the rather extensive sections in part 6 that encompass....
The challenge we have, Chair, as we've spoken about, is that with such a massive omnibus bill, is being able to have the committee properly understand all the implications. As we've seen, there have been problems with previous omnibus legislation whereby unintended consequences seem to be part of the day, and future omnibus bills fix mistakes in previous omnibus bills. So we're looking to help the government here a little. They've thrown everything but the kitchen sink in this one, and we'll get right through it with Mr. Caron, and I'll come in on a section in part 2.
Thank you, Chair.
