Thank you, Mr. Chair.
If I may, before I get into my questions, I would like to put on notice a motion, but not to be debated today, because we do have very esteemed guests here before us and we do have a lot of questions on copyright. I will read the motion into the record.
The motion reads:
That the Standing Committee on Industry, Science and Technology undertake a study over a period of four meetings to review the tax revenue losses to the federal government, including but not limited to royalties, personal and corporate income taxes, and levies, as well as review the fiscal impacts, including loss of business and economic activity, resulting from the construction delays of the Trans Mountain Expansion Pipeline, that the Committee review the potential long-term federal benefits, including employment opportunities that the project would generate, and that the Committee would report back to the House and make a recommendation as to whether or not the Government of Canada declare the Trans Mountain expansion project to the national advantage of Canada and invoke Section 92.10(c) of the Constitution of Canada.
This is particularly timely, considering the initiative of funding aid to anti-pipeline activists through the Dogwood Initiative.
Thank you, Mr. Chair.
