Finance committee  I have a final question, if I may, Mr. Chair. Could you speak to the level of engagement or consultation with the steel sector in the development of this particular legislation, or in general terms if you don't want to...?

Finance committee  It sounds like it. Thank you very much.

Finance committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. Thank you to the witnesses for appearing, especially on short notice. We have admittedly a very unique situation and a unique bill to address that situation. Ms. Cobden, I want to begin by asking you about just that. How abnormal is this situation with the

Finance committee  No problem. Thank you very much, Ms. Cobden. I was quite interested in the point you made about western Canada, and I'm wondering if you could go over that once again. As well, can you tell us more about the CITT finding when it comes to exemptions for particular regions? I thin

Finance committee  Yes. It's not just the Soo and Hamilton, as you said.

Finance committee  It's encouraging. Thank you for restating that. I think it's very important for the record to reflect that we hear different narratives. You're from the sector working on these issues, so thank you for bringing the evidence to the table today. Mr. White, thank you very much for

Finance committee  I appreciate that. While political parties will certainly have differences between them, I think, or I would hope, we are united in our support for the steel sector; certainly on this side we are. I extend to my colleagues the wish that we work together expeditiously in a non-par

Finance committee  Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Thank you to the officials for appearing this morning. I see that on the first page, you allocate $1.5 million for tax competitiveness monitoring. In what ways are we going to be doing that? Could you be more specific?

Finance committee  I don't mean to interrupt you, Mr. Marsland, but when you say assess and model, could you give examples?

Finance committee  Thank you very much. I was also interested in how you allocated for “trade dispute resources”. Compared to other funding pools, it is only $0.6 million, but it's still sizeable. Could you go into that? What do we mean by that?

Finance committee  It's very good to be proactive and prepared, so thank you for that explanation. I'm also interested in item 3 here, at the bottom of the page. It mentions $1.2 million, to enhance capacity for indigenous policy. By “enhanced capacity”, what do we mean there?

Finance committee  I was also interested in how you talked about an open banking review. I hope I'm not taking a question away from my colleague to my left—I know this is a great passion of his—but I do want to ask it, because I am interested in it. This is something the committee has—

Finance committee  Open banking and a review of it is what's being contemplated here. How does that compare to what other countries are doing? Would you be able to comment on that? Where is Canada in terms of considering open banking, and what are the implications of it for financial systems? I kno

Finance committee  Very good. Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Finance committee  Thank you, Mr. Chair. If I have time left, I will be splitting it with my colleague Ms. Rudd. Thank you to everyone, particularly Mr. Giroux, for being here and for the report, which I want to reference. On page 4, it states the following about the tax gap: “Part of the tax ga
