We will resume the committee's meeting with our third group of witnesses.
I would like to begin by welcoming Mr. Richard Kurland, policy analyst and lawyer, appearing as an individual. We also have with us
Merit Nova Scotia, Michael Kydd, president.
Thank you both for having accepted our invitation.
As agreed, you will each have six minutes for your opening statements. We will then move on to questions.
Mr. Kurland, you have the floor.
