Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I thank the witnesses who are here with us tonight. It is really an honour to discuss your experience and your research, and particularly your report, Mr. Colas. Indeed, the 2004 report of the Law Commission of Canada is fundamental for someone who like myself is in favour of a proportional representation system. It may not be exactly the same system, but the research and the 2004 report contain a wealth of information in this regard.
Mr. Montigny, if I understood your testimony correctly, you took part in a symposium here in Quebec. How many people were present? Who was there? Were the participants academics and professors?
