We'll call the meeting to order.
Pursuant to an order of reference of Wednesday, November 8, 2017, the committee is studying Bill C-63, a second act to implement certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on March 22, 2017, and other measures.
Welcome to all the witnesses. We appreciate your coming.
Before I go to the witnesses, we will just change the agenda a little bit.
At 6:15 we will deal with Mr. Dusseault's motion, which was tabled on Tuesday and has had the proper amount of notice. After that discussion, we will have to go in camera to deal with some of the business issues of the committee and the costs of holding hearings. If a second panel is here at 10 minutes to five o'clock, we will make the switch then between the panels.
As an individual we have Ian Lee, associate professor at Carleton University.
Ian, the floor is yours. We will try to hold the comments to about five minutes, if we could.
