Thank you, Minister, for your time today kicking us off on Bill C-35.
Members should know that I'm unfortunately due somewhere at 4:30. You may have noticed the Japanese delegation that was here for a bit.
I thank the minister for meeting with them briefly after question period. Actually, the head of their delegation used to be their minister of justice. It was an interesting opportunity to meet with them.
I'm going to talk to them about budgeting and estimates, Madame Péclet, which I love. I'm off to that.
We're going to suspend. We'll turn the second half of the meeting over to the vice-chair, Madame Boivin, with four officials.
