I call this meeting to order. Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2), today's meeting is on the subject matter of Bill C-63, a second act to implement certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on March 22, 2017, and other measures.
We have quite a number of sections to go through. Hopefully, we'll get through them today. We'll have witnesses from various departments and areas within Finance Canada to explain the measures that are in parts 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, and the divisions in the bill.
We'll start with part 1, amendments to the Income Tax Act and to related legislation. We have with us Trevor McGowan, who's the senior legislative chief, tax legislation division, tax policy branch. Also from the tax policy branch, we have the director of personal income tax division, Mr. Leblanc and the senior tax policy officer, Mr. Freda.
The floor is yours. You'll have an opening statement and then we'll go to questions.
