Good morning, Mr. Bouchard and Mr. Lapointe.
First, I'd like to draw the Chairman's attention to the fact that I personally know Mr. Lapointe and Mr. Bouchard. They come from the district of Quebec City, as I do. We practised at the same time, but not in the same place. In some cases, Mr. Lapointe represented the Crown, when I was counsel for the defence. The same was true of Mr. Bouchard.
First, I want to say that I'm very proud to see you here today. This proves that we have good attorneys in Quebec. I'd like to draw your attention to one aspect of the bill. I don't know whether you have considered it. It is provided that whistleblowers will have to go to the Labour Relations Board or to a tribunal. I know that administrative tribunal lawyers are quite particular compared to court lawyers. Furthermore, those who receive the complaints would be Superior Court judges.
I'd like to hear your comments on this subject, since you will have to face the situation and deal with these problems every day. Let's hope there aren't too many. Between the Labour Relations Board and the tribunal, which do you prefer? You already know these institutions, in view of the fact that you've previously practised in a tribunal, in the Superior Court, in criminal cases, or in other circumstances.
