Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Welcome to all of our witnesses today.
I will go directly to you, Mr. Walper. I took note that in your opening comments, you deliberately emphasized the issue of property rights as being critical for democracy. You also referenced due process as being absolutely critical. I'm trying to read something between the lines there, but I'm going to ask you to drill down into that.
Are you suggesting that before the Emergencies Act is triggered, due consideration has to be given to these key anchors of our democracy—due process and property rights—and to how those may be affected by the triggering of such an extraordinary piece of legislation? Do you want to drill down into that a little bit? I'd welcome that.
