Thank you very much, Chair.

I thank you for being in front of us this morning, Monsieur Mayrand.

I'd just like to ask you a few questions about the conditions under which you're here. The first has to do with the dates of your first appearance, July 15 and 16.

Were there any negotiations over your availability to appear in front of the committee on those days, or were you just categorically told you must be there on the 15th and 16th? Were there any discussions at all about your flexibility to appear?

See context to find out what was said next.
