I will call the meeting to order.
As everyone knows by now, per the order of reference of Monday, April 23, we are dealing with Bill C-74, the budget implementation bill for the February 27 budget of this year.
We have quite a number of witnesses this afternoon. We're starting a little late and have a hard stop tonight at 5:30. Sometimes we can go a little beyond the time, but we can't tonight. We will ask the witnesses to try to hold their remarks to five minutes, and we'll shorten the question times for members as well so we can get as much done as possible.
We'll start with Ms. Annie MacEachern, as an individual, a colleague of mine from Prince Edward Island. Welcome, Annie.
