Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
I will be sharing my speaking time with my colleague Mrs. Church.
Gentlemen, thank you very much for participating in this exercise, which is very important for us as we prepare the upcoming budget.
Mr. Silès, I'll start with you. We actually spoke not too long ago. You raise a very important issue that is perhaps not discussed enough: fast fashion. This is certainly not just a passing trend. We can see that it's taking root.
As you well know, consumer protection falls under provincial jurisdiction. However, the federal government can and must also play a role, that's for sure. How do you see that? What would you like the federal government to do? Should it take action in terms of product traceability or in terms of protecting Canadian consumers' health?
How do you see the federal government's role in this matter?
