I will call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 46 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Finance. Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and the committee's motion adopted on Tuesday, April 27, 2021, the committee is meeting to study the subject matter of Bill C-30, an act to implement certain provisions of the budget tabled in Parliament on April 19, 2021 and other measures.
Today's meeting is taking place in a hybrid format, pursuant to the House order of January 25, 2021. Therefore, members are attending in person and remotely by using the Zoom application.
The proceedings will be made available via the House of Commons website. The webcast will always show the person speaking, rather than the entirety of the committee. I'd like to take this opportunity to remind all participants of this meeting that taking screenshots or taking photos of your screen is not permitted. Interpretation services are available to all members. Just remember to ensure that your interpretation setting is set to the correct language when you are speaking.
I see that we have at least one guest member today. I want to welcome Mr. Fisher, who is substituting for Mr. Fraser.
With that, I will welcome our witnesses. Today we have Simon Telles, lawyer for Force Jeunesse. We have Susie Grynol, president and chief executive officer of the Hotel Association of Canada. We are expecting Alanna Hnatiw, mayor of Sturgeon County. Hopefully we will be able to connect with her and get her onto the call.
In the meantime, let's get under way and have opening statements from our witnesses. After that, we'll go to questions.
With that, go ahead, Mr. Telles.
