Thank you, committee. I’d like to call Committee of the Whole to order. Before us today are tabled documents 4, 30, 38, 62, 75, 103, 133, 135; Bills 4, 14, 17 and 20; and Ministers’ statements 65 and 88. What is the wish of committee? Mr. Beaulieu.

Thank you, Mr. Menicoche. I have nobody else on my list. Does committee agree that we have concluded general comments?

What is the process and how long until the regulations reach the Minister’s desk? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Bromley. Next on my list is Mr. Jacobson.

Thank you, Mr. Beaulieu. Are there any more general comments? Mr. Yakeleya.

First on my list is Mr. Krutko.
