Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
My thanks to the witnesses for attending today.
I'd like to ask some questions of Mr. Elgie and take advantage of his legal background.
However, I am going to try to restrain my usual legal propensity for fulsome questions and would ask you to restrain your propensity for fulsome answers. We have such a little time, we have to be concise.
The first question is whether you are aware of what the usual standard of proof is in Canadian legal actions.
