Thank you, Mr. Chair. I am pleased to be here representing the Standing Committee on Government Operations. We would like to commend and thank the Minister and his
department and staff in collaboration as we prepared the report and, as well, the final, third reading we have coming up here, hopefully, later today.
The bill is a very complicated piece of legislation, and as we indicated in our report, we needed the expertise of a contractor. Again, we want to echo our thanks to Mr. Lew Voytilla who took a painstaking task to look at this line by line and help educate the committee on some of the rigors of the financial acumen and the public accounts and the public system of government operations. So for that, the committee is thankful.
Of course, committee members might have further questions here today, but on behalf of the committee we would like to thank and commend the government for a good piece of legislation.
