Thank you, Minister, for being here.
Minister, you talked about these reforms taking place after decades of neglect by previous governments. I just want to make it clear for this committee that it's your government that's been in place for the last eight years, so obviously, these neglects and abuses, if there are any, are taking place under your government.
There seems to be quite a trend of a lot of abuses going on under your government, whether it's temporary foreign workers, the Senate expense scandal, or the inability of this government to go after the tax cheats.
If you're so concerned about some of the abuses that are going on—you brought this bill to the House in February—why not bring it up for second reading?
