I call this meeting back to order. We will resume.
I'd like to welcome our second set of witnesses for today. We have Silas Xuereb, an economist for Canadians for Tax Fairness, and Sasha Caldera, the campaign director, beneficial ownership project at IMPACT Transforming Natural Resource Management.
All virtual witnesses have conducted a mandatory witness onboarding test, and I would like to make a few comments for the benefit of our new witnesses.
Please wait until I recognize you by name before speaking and, for those participating by video conference, click on the microphone icon to activate your mic and please mute yourself when you are not speaking. For those on Zoom, at the bottom of your screen, you can select the appropriate channel for interpretation: floor, English or French. This is a reminder that all comments should be addressed through the chair. You will each have five minutes for opening remarks, after which we will turn to the committee members for questions.
We will begin with Silas for five minutes.
Please go ahead.
