Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, Mr. MacKenzie, for appearing before us today to discuss the bill you are sponsoring, Bill C-483. It's good for us to hear what you have to say. I am finding the discussion extremely interesting.
You said you consulted with the staff of the previous public safety minister as well as the staff of the new minister, before introducing your bill. It would seem that you have special access. What a nice way to introduce a bill. At least the department concerned is made aware and you have the benefit of their input, which is all the more informed because you are a government member.
Who did you consult when you decided to introduce Bill C-483? Did you seek the input of other people, experts, in particular?
