I call this meeting to order.
This is meeting 37 of the Standing Committee on Finance. The orders of the day, pursuant to the order of reference of Tuesday, April 8, 2014, are dealing with clause-by-clause study of Bill C-31, an act to implement certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on February 11, 2014, and other measures.
Colleagues, as you know, we have both today and Thursday for clause by clause. My hope as chair is that we get through parts 1 to 4 today. We'll see if we can. Obviously, it will depend on members' input.
We do have a notice of motion in the name of Mr. Cullen, and he's indicated he would prefer to move that at the outset of the meeting.
Mr. Cullen, if you're ready, I'll go to you to move your motion, please.
