Going back to our first item of business today, we will have officials with us. We have Mr. Gilmour, Mr. Brookfield, Mr. Bilodeau, Ms. Loten and Ms. Beattie. They are here to provide answers on technical questions for our study today.
Welcome to all of you, and thanks for being with us today.
I would like to provide members of the committee with some reminders about the clause-by-clause process. Members should note that any new amendments must be submitted in writing to the clerk of the committee. During debate on an amendment, members are permitted to move subamendments. Those subamendments must be submitted in writing. They do not require the approval of the mover of the amendment.
That concludes it. We will continue with clause-by-clause.
(On clause 1)
The chair calls clause 1. I believe we have NDP-1.
Ms. McPherson, you have the floor.
