Madam Speaker, I have the honour to table the ninth report of the finance committee of the House of Commons.
This represents major amendments worked out in consultation with the industry to Bill C-82, dealing with Canada's financial institutions. This is the culmination of a process put in place well over a year ago by the Minister of State for International Financial Institutions, one in which submissions were asked for from interested parties which resulted in a white paper. This white paper was the subject of extensive public discussions and consultations last fall and the amendments resulting from that process and the changes are included in this report.
This has been an excellent process. We recommend it to other ministers and we congratulate the minister of state for this process and the results of it. I would also like to thank all members of the committee from all parties who have worked so diligently on this matter.
