Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
I want to welcome the minister as well as all who are here supporting him as we begin to study Bill C-64.
Before I begin, I recognize that Ms. Jordan and Ms. Malcolmson have a vested interest in this study, but would it be appropriate to invite our colleagues who normally sit on this committee to also to join us at the table? There's probably no reason that they can't be here if they want to be. I would welcome them to the table if they choose.
