Thank you Mr. Chair.
Thank you for being here, ministers.
Mr. MacKay, you said this was your 51st appearance before the committee. And this is your first appearance, Mr. Blaney. I hope you are going to give us the time to properly study Bill C-26, which we were very happy to have referred to the committee. I would expect that you will give the committee the time it needs to study the impact of these measures. It's an extensive piece of legislation that requires two ministers to appear before the committee. Clearly, it has a number of different consequences.
By no means do I think you want us to do a comprehensive study of the bill, despite the fact that it deals with extremely serious subject matter and that we must do our due diligence.
There will be no time allocation on this committee, I hope, on the part of both ministers.
