Mr. Speaker, I have the honour to present the first report of the Standing Committee on Finance regarding its order of reference of Tuesday, February 13, in relation to Bill C-8, an act to establish the Financial Consumer Agency of Canada. The bill is the result of many years of study and consultation by a number of committees and task forces.
On behalf of the committee, I thank members of parliament, committee staff, departmental officials, witnesses and stakeholders for their work. As a result of their hard work, we have produced a very important piece of legislation for the Canadian financial services sector and Canadian consumers.
The committee has considered Bill C-8 and reports the bill with amendments.
