I'll call the meeting to order. We're dealing with the order of reference for Bill C-44, an act to implement certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on March 22.
I apologize to the witnesses for the delay. We will try to proceed with this panel for one hour and the next panel for one hour.
To start, we have the Canadian Union of Public Employees, Mr. Sanger, senior economist.
Toby, the floor is yours.
