Thank you, Madam Chair, and welcome to the panellists. Certainly we've heard from a lot of different groups with very strong feelings and perspectives on this legislation.
I have a couple of questions for Mr. Lindgren. As we struggle with, of course, the issue of judicial panels and all the other things in terms of the role of government, in your view, is there a real way to depoliticize the process without taking away a democratically elected government's ability to make decisions for which they will be held accountable by Canadians?
