Thank you, Madam Chair. The Standing Committee on Infrastructure reviewed Bill 13, Loan Authorization Act, 1996-97, on May 23, 1996. Members discussed the bill with the Minister of Finance and agreed that it should be reported to Committee of the Whole.

Members will take this opportunity in Committee of the Whole to raise any specific questions that they may have. I may add, Madam Chair, that there was good discussion on the bill and I was quite pleased, personally, with it. Thank you.
