Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Greetings to everyone. I'm pleased to be here on behalf of my colleague from Joliette.
Mr. Chair, please tell Mr. Marion that there was nothing personal and that I had not intended to have him leave the meeting, far from it. Please pass on my best wishes to him.
Mr. Jean, as you did not have time to finish your address, I'd like to give you the opportunity to do so now.
