I call the meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 49 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, 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 the hybrid format pursuant to the House order of January 25, and the proceedings will be made available via the House of Commons website. So that people are aware, the webcast will always show the person speaking, rather than the entirety of the committee.
We will start with BIOTECanada.
Just before we do that, just as a heads-up to committee members, we were having some difficulty in getting extended hours on May 27 to deal with clause-by-clause. That's now been accomplished, so we will be able to meet into the evening of Thursday, May 27 when we're in clause-by-clause to, hopefully, finish Bill C-30 that evening. We'll go from there.
I see that Mr. Barrett is on there. Does he want to do a sound check, Mr. Clerk, before we go to BIOTECanada?
