It looks like members are in agreement. We'll allocate some time at the end of the meeting.
Thank you, MP McLean.
I apologize to our witnesses for that slight interruption.
As an individual, we have Patrick Taillon. He's a professor and associate director of the centre for constitutional and administrative law studies, faculty of law, Université Laval. We have, from the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, Mark Agnew, senior vice-president, policy and government relations. From the Office of the Parliamentary Budget Officer, we have Yves Giroux, Parliamentary Budget Officer, and Louis Perrault, director, economic analysis. From Transparency International Canada, we have James Cohen, the executive director.
We're now going to hear opening statements from each of the witnesses, one from each of the groups. They'll have up to five minutes to make their opening remarks before we move to members' questions.
We'll start with Patrick Taillon, as an individual, for five minutes, please.
