[English]
I'm a little surprised that Mr. Wallace thinks that Mr. Pagé speaks better French than I do.
I want to welcome all of you back. In particular, I want to officially welcome two members to the committee--Mr. Brison, the finance critic for the Liberal Party, and Mr. Szabo as well. Welcome to the committee.
We do have a very busy agenda today with the economists. We typically do the motions after the witnesses, but my understanding is that the four parties support the motion by Monsieur Paillé, perhaps with an amendment....
I am advised that we need to suspend for 30 seconds. Then we will move to the meeting.
Before I adjourn, I will ask the economists to come to the table. After that, we will deal with Monsieur Paillé's motion.
The meeting is adjourned.
