Once again, no. We have not heard back as of yet. However, like you, I hope that now that yesterday's economic update is out of the way and the budget-related business has been introduced in the House, perhaps the Minister of Finance and National Revenue will answer our calls and emails. To date, he has not done so, but we will continue to ask him to appear before the committee before the summer recess.
In other news, I want to welcome our new member, MP Ma.
It's nice to have you joining us here.
We have a guest today.
Mr. Rana, it's nice to have you here as well.
There's no other change on the committee.
I'll turn to our witnesses from the Canada Infrastructure Bank. We have Frédéric Duguay, executive vice-president and chief legal information officer.
Thank you very much for joining us today. I believe you're dialing in from Toronto.
We also have Steven Robins, executive vice-president, portfolio and strategic projects, also by video conference.
I believe there's an opening statement from Mr. Duguay.
You have about five minutes for that, and then we'll turn to questions. We will endeavour to keep you here for just an hour. Thank you for your patience, as we were voting today on the economic update.
