We will officially reconvene the meeting.
This evening, we welcome two witnesses to the committee: Mr. Éric Montigny, Executive Director, Research Chair on Democracy and Parliamentary Institutions, Department of Political Science, Université Laval, and Mr. Bernard Colas, Attorney, CMKZ LLP, former commissioner of the Law Commission of Canada.
I don't know if you were here during the previous testimony, but witnesses have 10 minutes to present their views. This is followed by a question period during which each member has five minutes to speak with the witnesses. Those five minutes include both questions and answers.
We will begin with you, Mr. Montigny. You have the floor.
