I call this meeting to order.
Welcome to meeting number 95 of the House of Commons Standing Committee on Transport, Infrastructure and Communities.
Pursuant to the order of reference of Tuesday, September 26, 2023, the committee is meeting to resume clause-by-clause consideration of Bill C-33, An Act to amend the Customs Act, the Railway Safety Act, the Transportation of Dangerous Goods Act, 1992, the Marine Transportation Security Act, the Canada Transportation Act and the Canada Marine Act and to make a consequential amendment to another Act.
Today's meeting is taking place in a hybrid format, pursuant to the Standing Orders. Members are attending in person in the room and remotely by using the Zoom application.
Colleagues, to help us once again with the clause-by-clause consideration of Bill C-33, I'd like to welcome back our witnesses.
Joining us once again from the Department of Transport, we have Sonya Read, director general, marine policy; Heather Moriarty, director, ports policy; Rachel Heft, manager and senior counsel, transport and infrastructure legal services; and Amy Kaufman, counsel.
Also, once again, we have our legislative clerk, Monsieur Philippe Méla. Welcome back.
Colleagues, we left off with new BQ-5.
I see a hand raised by Ms. Zarrillo.
Ms. Zarrillo, if you would like to get us started on that discussion, by all means, the floor is yours.
