I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 56 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Finance.
Pursuant to Standing Order 108(2) and the motion adopted by the committee on Tuesday, April 27, 2021, the committee is meeting to study the Canada Revenue Agency's efforts to combat tax avoidance and evasion.
Today's meeting is taking place in a hybrid format, pursuant to the House order of January 25; therefore, members are attending in person in the room and remotely by using the Zoom application.
That said, I'll forgo the formalities.
We have a quick motion that we need to deal with on the project budget cost for this set of hearings. I think Mr. Ste-Marie has distributed a motion to members. To give members a heads-up, we'll deal with that during the last 15 minutes of the committee.
The budget, I believe, for this set of hearings on the study of the Canada Revenue Agency's efforts to combat tax avoidance and evasion has been sent to members. It is requesting an amount of $1,800 for this study. The costs are broken down in what has been sent to members.
Does somebody want to move adoption of that?
