Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Welcome Mr. McKay. This is a wonderful forum for you, and I would like to discuss aspects of your bill, Bill C-300, with you. I have a few questions.
In your presentation, you referred to broad consultations, to round tables held between 2006 and 2008. That was done under your government at the time, the Liberal government.
I would imagine you consulted with the participants from these round tables before drafting your bill, you must have interacted with them to draw up a framework for your bill.
I would also like you to discuss the government's response to the round table report. Could you shed light on what your bill has to offer in addition to the government's response to the round table report?
You now have an opportunity to focus on what it is that gives Bill C-300 more bite, given the expectations expressed in the report and recommendations from the round tables.
