We are having a very thought-provoking discussion this afternoon. We have learned new things. We were not familiar with those two systems. So far, we have been talking about more known options. You have put forward some new ideas, and we thank you for that. It was a pleasure to see you again, Mr. Côté, and it was a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Derriennic.
We will now move on to our open microphone session. We have eight witnesses. I will explain the procedure to follow for interventions. We have two microphones. Interventions are limited to two minutes, so you have two minutes to speak. This process has worked very well in the other cities we have visited this week.
I will try to always have one speaker by each microphone. That way, even if only one speaker has the floor, the other one will be ready to comment as soon as they are done.
I invite Blanche Paradis and Esther Lapointe to come up to the microphones.
We will begin with Ms. Paradis' two-minute intervention.
