Thank you very much, Madam Chair. It's always good to be here on the finance committee.
These are very important issues. I think that as a committee, we have to be getting them right. We have an obligation here as representatives of taxpayers and as stewards of taxpayer money. I know there's been a lot circulating online, certainly in recent months, about the CPP, so it's incredibly timely that we're dealing with some of this.
I want to go back to the essence of CPC-13. What we're trying to do in the bill, through Mr. Hallan's amendment, is to add after line 18 on page 22, for starters, this reporting requirement:
Within three months after the day on which this section comes into force, the Minister of Finance must prepare a report on the projected impact of the amendments to the Canada Pension Plan contained in this Division on the financial state of the Canada Pension Plan and on contribution rates.
Mr. Countryman, do you view that as being a particularly burdensome requirement on the minister?
