Welcome back for our second hour.
Our next witness is Mr. Sam Cooper, a journalist with The Bureau news.
Mr. Cooper, welcome to the committee. I know that you've had your sound tested, but I want to make sure you're prepared for the French interpretation. Some questions will be asked in French. I was at your recent appearance at the justice meeting. I was in the back row, and I know that you speak very quickly. I would just remind you to please make sure that you speak clearly in order for the interpretation to work.
I understand also, Mr. Cooper, that you don't have an opening statement and would just like to go to questions. We'll start with that, then, if you're okay. If you do want to say something to the committee, I would invite you to do that now. If not, I will go to Mr. Barrett for six minutes.
