I would like to call this meeting to order. Pursuant to the order of reference adopted by the House on October 25 and to the motion adopted by this committee on November 23, the committee will now resume its study on Bill C-257.
The meeting will go for a maximum of 75 minutes. The witnesses will have seven minutes to make their presentations, and there will be two rounds of questioning, one of seven minutes and a second one of five minutes.
I can assure you that I will be better with the time today. Things got away from us a little bit yesterday. I'm going to have to try to keep you to seven minutes. I apologize for that. I will keep an eye on the clock so that we can get through this agenda. I also want to remind everyone that all questions should be put through the chair.
Mr. Lake.
