Thank you, Mr. Chair, and welcome, everybody.
Obviously, I'd like to start on the credit union side—part 6, division 16, subdivision C. As chair of the all-party caucus, I worked with my colleagues from the other side, Mr. Albas and Mr. Boulerice, and many other folks for quite a period of time. We reached a point where the information contained in the BIA legislation provides certainty for credit unions to continue serving many millions of folks across the country.
My very simple question is, how important was it to the Credit Union Association and its members that that certainty be achieved?
