Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Committee members, thank you for the invitation to appear before you today.
I'm Galen Countryman. I'm the director general of the federal-provincial relations division at the Department of Finance. I'm joined here today by many of my colleagues from the Department of Finance, from the finance sector policy branch in particular, to speak to divisions 1 to 9, 32 to 34 and 37 of part 4 of the budget implementation act. It is a great pleasure to be here today.
Merci.
