Thank you, Chair.
Good evening, ministers, with your supporting cast. Thank you for your attendance tonight. It's been a long time coming to get both of you here, with your supporting entourage, and we're very grateful.
I want to start off by opining that it's of no surprise to me, and I'm sure to many members on this committee, that both ministers doubled down on literally the same talking points we've heard from this Liberal government throughout the last two and a half years, but most importantly after the ruling of Justice Mosley. In my respectful opinion, the Federal Court ruling provided a massive political humiliation for the Justin Trudeau government.
Minister Virani, were you given a copy of Justice Mosley's decision before it was publicly released at 1:03 p.m.?
