I will call the meeting to order. We are dealing with the budget implementation act, Bill C-44. We have with us today a number of individuals from Finance Canada.
Sometimes we deal with each part, and then go to questions. We'll have the presentations on part 1, then the presentations on part 2, then the presentations on part 3, and then we'll go to questioning of all of the witnesses.
Are people okay with that?
Starting with part 1, we have Mr. McGowan, Mr. LeBlanc, and Mr. Greene.
I don't know if in your opening statements you want to mention your areas of responsibility, because I don't have that information in my documents.
Oh, yes I do.
I'll give your title, Trevor. Mr. McGowan is the senior legislative chief, tax legislation division, tax policy branch. Mr. LeBlanc is the director, personal income tax division, tax policy branch. Mr. Greene is the director, tax policy branch.
Welcome. The floor is yours on part 1, amendments to the Income Tax Act and to related legislation.
