Thank you, Chair.
I will share my time with my neighbour, the Parliamentary Secretary to the Minister of Finance.
Good afternoon, Minister. Welcome.
We certainly could have talked about a recession, but I won't go there.
I would suggest that my colleagues contact or read the reports of the C.D. Howe Institute, which is Canada's foremost authority on classifying whether or not there was a recession. Please read the C.D. Howe stuff, and they'll answer the question very directly.
I could also have talked about the Alto project, which I fully support. I really like the intermodal aspect. It's very interesting. That said, we're going to come back to Bill C‑30 instead.
Our Bloc Québécois colleague told us that it was important to properly analyze the situation, to think about what we're going to do for the airports and to think about the factors that should guide this thought process.
To me, it seems that a good thought process will require information. I get the impression that that's what Bill C‑30 is all about. There's a desire for the right to access that information.
Can you say a few words about that?
