Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I am concerned. The clause-by-clause analysis is one page. It's limited to the enacting legislation that accompanies the actual treaty itself, which is basically annex A and annex B to schedule 1. I'm concerned about how this has been brought forward to the committee.
There's some concern about whether this was the appropriate committee to deal with financial legislation, or whether the finance committee should have dealt with this. That's certainly one question. But the information should have been much more fulsome and more quickly forthcoming. This isn't an adequate clause-by-clause analysis of the treaty implications, and it doesn't in any way describe the fiscal implications for at least two of the components within this protocol.
So I have some concerns and I have some questions, but I'm sure other members do too.
