Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to thank Mr. Beech for his notice of motion. I am in favour of starting this study soon, given the size of the bill that we can expect to see, based on the notice of ways and means that we have already received.
Speaking of the notice of ways and means, I would like to thank Mr. Beech, as I did during the technical briefing. However, what is truly concerning to me is that we have received 500 pages’ worth of explanations, of which more than 230 are written in nearly incomprehensible legalese. This means that we weren't really able to understand everything that was mentioned during the briefing. And yet we have to vote on this notice of ways and means soon.
Personally, I don't feel I can do so, because I haven't been able to read all the pages of the briefing document. That's why I would like to take more time to study the budget implementation bill. Moreover, to go back to what Mr. Chambers stated about the invitations sent to the Minister of Finance, I have to say that I am rather disappointed that we haven't had much access to the minister.
I am therefore in favour of starting the study soon.
