I call this meeting back to order.
This is the continuation of meeting number 66 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Finance. The committee is meeting today to discuss future business. Today's meeting is taking place in a hybrid format, pursuant to the House order of June 23, 2022. Members are attending in person in the room and remotely using the Zoom application.
I'd like to make a few comments for the benefit of witnesses and members.
Please wait until I recognize you by name before speaking. For those participating by video conference, click on the microphone icon to activate your mike and please mute yourself when you are not speaking.
There is interpretation. Those on Zoom have the choice, at the bottom of their screen, of the floor, English or French”. Those in the room can use the earpiece and select the desired channel.
I remind you that all comments should be addressed through the chair.
For members in the room who wish to speak, please raise your hand. For members on Zoom, please use the “raise hand” function. The clerk and I will manage the speaking order as best we can. We appreciate your patience and understanding in this regard.
We are resuming debate on the motion moved by MP Terry Beech and the friendly amendment moved by MP Yvan Baker.
The last speakers we had.... I believe MP Chambers and MP Lawrence were both on the list.
I have MP Chambers, then MP Morantz after that.
