Thank you very much.
I thank you all for being here. I'm learning as I go, so this is great. It's not my regular committee either, but I'm really charged with what I'm hearing.
I want to start with some of the things that have already been said. I continue to hear that it's an admirable goal, that what we're trying to do is at least a step forward.
But Mr. Simeon, I think you said the process is second best. However, then you said let's explore what the Parliament of Canada can do. I'll ask you the question then. If this is second best but you want us to explore what the Parliament can do, what are you suggesting?
