Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Good morning to all the senior officials. Thank you for being here to answer our questions.
There are some very interesting exchanges this morning. I thank Mrs. Chatel for asking you about the fight against tax evasion and tax avoidance. We need to do more, and I also hope that Canada will do everything possible to fight this effectively by following international standards.
On Tuesday, I asked your colleagues to follow up with you on a question about division 31 of Bill C‑47, which enacts the Royal Styles and Titles Act, 2023. I thought it was quite odd that they would hide a reference to “Charles the Third, by the Grace of God” in a bill hundreds of pages long, near the end, in division 31.
Since I was not in Parliament the last time this happened, I asked your colleagues to pass on my question to you: How was this done last time? Was it hidden at the end of a budget implementation bill?
