We shall call the meeting to order. Pursuant to the order of reference of Tuesday, April 30, 2019, the committee is studying Bill C-97, an act to implement certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on March 19, 2019, and other measures.
We have the honour of the Minister of Finance, the Honourable Bill Morneau, appearing before us, as well as Rob Stewart, associate deputy minister, and Andrew Marsland, assistant DM. I believe there's a number of other finance officials in the room.
Mr. Minister, the floor is yours. I understand you have an opening statement and then we'll go to questions. Welcome.
