Thank you Mr. Jean and Mr. Baker.
Just before we go to the Bloc and Monsieur Savard-Tremblay, I have another little update. The entire BMO Capital Markets has some firewall issue, and the whole department is down. Just be aware of that.
I just want to say that the clerk and his team do an incredible job in terms of inviting the witnesses we put forward to them. That being said, when we have invited these witnesses, over the last while we have given them the option to appear virtually. With the members' indulgence, I can ask the clerk to emphasize that it would be better to have them here in person. We will do everything we can to bring them here in person.
We're grateful for the witnesses who have come before us today virtually. We can see, when we do have technical challenges, that members really want to hear witnesses' testimony for our report.
We will do that going forward. We'll maintain the practice of emphasizing that we would like to have people here in person. Nothing beats having people in person. I think all members would agree with that.
Okay. That's great.
We're going now to the Bloc for two and a half minutes, with Mr. Savard-Tremblay.
Go ahead, please.
