Thank you very much, Mr. Chair, and thank you to all the witnesses here and on the other end of the communications. And bonjour, Monsieur Jobin. It's a pleasure to see you again.
My question is specifically to all the witnesses who feel they can answer. Mr. Jobin has spoken of the regulations in other jurisdictions. Could you quickly elaborate on the principal differences between those regulations and what is being proposed?
Second, could you give some indication of the nature of the response to those regulations? Sometimes regulations don't necessarily have the outcomes you expect, although they are satisfactory outcomes nevertheless. Has that been the case, in your experience?
Then finally, let me just weigh in with others who have talked about the high quality of the interventions and briefs we've received from all of you on this subject. I think it is incumbent on us as a committee, and ultimately on the government, in recognition of the quality, to actually make those amendments you propose, unless there are some good reasons not to. For my part, they are going to have to be very convincing to not do the things that have been suggested by very thoughtful people here this afternoon.
