Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to present, in both official languages, the 20th report of the Standing Committee on Finance, entitled “Productivity with a Purpose: Improving the Standard of Living of Canadians”.
I want to bring to the attention of the House that this is a very important document which deals with a very important issue, that of productivity, which is a key determinant in raising the standard of living for Canadians.
I also want to take this opportunity to thank the members of the committee who worked very hard throughout this session. The finance committee held 193 meetings to deal with different issues related to finance.
I would also like to take this opportunity to thank the clerk, the interpreters, the researchers and every one involved in making sure that the committee of finance functions as well as it does.
I want to reiterate that the finance committee will continue to pursue this issue in the coming years.
