I call the meeting to order again. I believe the cameras know they have to leave. Thank you.
Welcome, Minister Morneau. As you know, the committee has had four panels this week related to tax planning using private corporations. We just finished two panels prior to your coming in. We appreciate hearing from you as well on this issue.
I just want to say to members that in Charlottetown's The Guardian, which covers the Island like the dew, there was a really good article by John Risley this morning, which applies to us today. At the end of the article, he says that this issue “shouldn’t be about political partisanship; it should be about good public policy.” I would hope that when we are discussing this issue today, we can keep that in mind.
Mr. Morneau, I don't know whether you have an opening statement, but the floor is yours.
