Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Good afternoon, Mr. Bouchard.
I understand that the bill you have tabled and are speaking to today holds an extremely laudable objective: to assist regions experiencing the most difficulty reverse the exodus of young people. You mentioned the region of Saguenay—Lac-Saint-Jean. I, for one, come from a region that is experiencing something similar. You told us that the act came into effect in Quebec in 2003, and that ultimately it was successful. The goal of the piece of legislation is to further help young people settle in regions and to allow the regions to develop. This is a federal bill that will apply to all provinces. This is a very interesting model.
Have I understood correctly?
