I call the committee to order. Before we go to the witnesses on the study of the Canadian real estate market and home ownership, we have a couple of budgetary items to deal with. The clerk has handed those budgets around.
The first one is a request for $23,900 for the study we're currently doing. We need this money to pay those witnesses, etc. Does somebody want to move that budget?
(Motion agreed to)
The second budget deals with the postponed study on the comprehensive review of Canada's tax system.
The clerk feels that the amount of $9,600 is high, but we do have an obligation to cover those witnesses who may have already purchased tickets, and there are cancellation fees.
Do we have a mover for this budget as well?
Mr. Liepert.
