Good morning. We'll call to order meeting number 49. Today we're in public.
We have Mr. Williamson with us in the first hour to talk about the order of reference for his Bill C-518, an act to amend the Members of Parliament Retiring Allowances Act.
Mr. Williamson, we're happy to have you here today. We will have you make your opening statement, and then we will ask you a bunch of really hard questions, and from there decide where we're headed.
