Good afternoon, everyone.
I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 138 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Industry and Technology.
I would like to ask all members and other persons joining us here in Ottawa to consult the guidelines on the use of microphones and earpieces in order to protect the health and safety of everyone, in particular our interpreters. I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the interpreters for the work they do.
Colleagues, you have received two requests pertaining to the committee's budget. The first concerns the study of Bill C‑27, for which a supplementary budget of $7,000 is requested, and the second concerns the study that we will undertake today on credit card practices and regulations in Canada, for which the amount of $22,000 is requested.
Is there unanimous consent to approve these budgets?
