Thank you, Chair.
Thank you, panel, for being here.
Let me begin by first correcting the record. My colleague across the way said that this is great news that the media had put out. In fact, this information was published on May 24, 2012 on a website, so it's really old news being put out more recently on that.
Having said that, I wonder if you could perhaps make a few comments on how these proposed changes are going to support Canada's economic recovery. How are these changes going to help us in terms of making sure our economy stays on track for growth and prosperity?
