We'll come to order.
Pursuant to the order of reference of Tuesday, November 6, 2018, we are studying Bill C-86, a second act to implement certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on February 27, 2018 and other measures.
My apologies that we're starting a little late. The Prime Minister, the leader of the official opposition, and the leader of the third party are making statements in the House on the Jewish refugees who were prevented from coming into Canada on the St. Louis. That's why we're short a few members, but we were worried about the time getting tight for you.
With that, welcome to all. Thank you for coming on very short notice, I know.
We'll start with the Canadian Centre for Policy Alternatives and Katherine Scott.
Go ahead, Katherine.
