I believe we have all of our witnesses in place, so I'll call the meeting to order.
By video conference, we have John Callaghan and Aaron Denhartog; Nicholas Bala and Pierre Fogal. Thank you, gentlemen, and thank you to all the witnesses.
We are continuing our hearings on Bill C-74, the budget implementation act, based on the budget tabled on February 27, 2018, and other measures. We will also be hearing from witnesses at a session this afternoon.
We'll start with you, Professor Bala, from the faculty of law at Queen's University.
