I call to order the meeting of the Standing Committee on Transport, Infrastructure and Communities. This is the 42nd Parliament.
Pursuant to the order of reference of Wednesday, October 5, 2016, Bill C-227, an act to amend the Department of Public Works and Government Services Act (community benefit), is before us, as referred by the House.
We will now turn it over to Ahmed Hussen, if you could please brief us on the bill.
