I will call the meeting to order, pursuant to Standing Order 81(4), we are studying the main estimates, 2018-19: votes 1 and 5 under Canada Revenue Agency, votes 1 and 5 under Department of Finance, vote 1 under Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada, and vote 1 under Office of the Superintendent of Financial Institutions, referred to the committee on Monday, April 16, 2018.
For the first hour we have Minister Lebouthillier, the Minister of the CRA, plus officials from the Canada Revenue Agency.
Minister, my apologies for the moment, but we have to deal with a couple of hopefully small items before we start, because we have to get this information to the budget liaison committee by tomorrow.
You have before you the 11th report of the Subcommittee on Agenda and Procedure of the Standing Committee on Finance. I'll read through that and see if there's any discussion.
Your Subcommittee met on Monday, April 30, 2018, to consider the business of the Committee and agreed to make the following recommendations:
1. That, in relation to the statutory review of the Proceeds of Crime (Money Laundering) and Terrorist Financing Act, the Committee dedicate additional meetings based on the updated remaining lists of witnesses; and that, for one meeting, officials from the Financial Transactions and Reports Analysis Centre of Canada be asked to appear right after the consideration of the Order in Council appointment of Nada Semaan.
2. That, notwithstanding the motion adopted by the Committee on Wednesday, March 28, 2018, concerning the deadline for the lists of witnesses for Bill C-74, An Act to implement certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on February 27, 2018, and other measures, members of the Committee be allowed to provide up to five additional names by Tuesday, May 1, 2018.
We have those names now.
3. That, in relation to the Committee's pre-budget consultations in advance of the 2019 Budget, the Chair submit to the Subcommittee on Committee Budgets of the Liaison Committee preliminary submissions of travel to Canada (Toronto, Oshawa, Quebec City, St John, Charlottetown, Winnipeg, Edmonton, Victoria, Whitehorse) and the United States of America (San Francisco Bay Area and Silicon Valley, California, Houston, Texas).
Is there any discussion? Does somebody want to move that?
