Thank you.
I'd like to thank both of our witnesses for being here today. It's a new day for us and a new province, and it's great to hear some of the Alberta perspective on this very important issue.
I'd also like to thank the members of the audience for joining us today and for taking time out to be part of the discussion. I hope you can stick around and be part of the open-mike session so we can get your thoughts on this.
It's great to be in the greater Edmonton area, so thanks for being here and joining us.
Ms. Paradis, I'm going to start with you. I really appreciate your comments. They give a bit of a different perspective from what we've heard recently, and the new information is always very welcome.
You were talking about the referendum question, and it has come up from time to time at our table. We've spent some time on things like legitimacy. You indicated that the process that we embark on could give electoral reform legitimacy, but if not, then a referendum could.
What steps do you think would be required to get to that legitimacy versus having a referendum?
