Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to each of our guests for being here today.
I'd like to start with a question for both Ms. Keeping and Mr. Osborne.
Ms. Keeping, I just want to start by saying that I thought the conference that Transparency International Canada organized a couple of weeks ago was very good. I thought you had a very broad range of people representing government, academia, NGOs, and business. We heard a wide range of views on these issues with respect to Bill S-14 and, certainly, they were generally very supportive. I commend Transparency International Canada for holding that conference. I thought you did a superb job.
