First of all, thank you for being here as a witness to participate in the work of our committee. I know that there is a lot of work needed to prepare for being here as a witness.
I'm not a lawyer; I'm just a new MP who used to run different organizations in the past. I'm not a specialist on the question either, but you used strong words throughout your presentation about Bill C-51. You said it was carelessly drafted, poorly drafted. You used an expression like trying to use wallpaper to cover a wall that is cracked.
It raises the question of why this happened. Was it a reaction to something that happened? Did we try to react quickly? Was it drafted quickly? Did the previous government provide poor direction?
The second question would be about what lessons we learned. If you tried to identify two or three lessons learned, could you say what those would be, so that we could avoid such situations?
