Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to our witnesses for joining us today. I look forward to the conversation we're going to have about these two important measures in the budget implementation act.
Welcome to all of the committee members. It's been a while since we've met. I look forward to the conversation we're going to have.
I'm going to start my questions for the folks around the mandatory reporting measure. I note that you mentioned the G-8 summit in 2013 and that it was the Government of Canada's commitment to establish mandatory reporting standards for Canadian extractive companies with a view to enhancing transparency on the payments they make to governments.
I want to ask, how does Canada's approach align with approaches in other countries?
