Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. I join you in welcoming everybody back from a full summer I'm sure. I look forward to the work that we're going to do this fall, and also want to welcome Mr. Aubin to the committee.
I look forward to the study that we are doing on Bill C-30 and interswitching in particular. I do note that this act was introduced in the House of Commons by the Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food. It was read for the first time in March. I think what that highlights is the relationship that we often see between different ministries—as we are the committee for transportation, communities, and infrastructure—that exists in developing legislation like this. So I'm wondering what, if any, input the agency did have in developing those sections pertaining to its authority in this legislation.
