Thank you, Madam Chair.
And I'd like to thank our guests for being here today to help us better understand the project and the spirit behind it.
I came from a business background before entering this political world a year ago. In my 30-plus years of business, I've certainly understood the need to rationalize, where you can, to provide services where you can, and, in your words, if I may, Monsieur Chénier, to lower the cost of operations and exposures. I understand shelf life is associated with all the various networks out there, so to do that makes good sense.
You did not have an opportunity to respond to the prior comment. My sense in business is that while you can't always specifically and materially know, to the percent, what the savings might be, I would say that you do have some sense as to the rationale behind it. May I ask you to respond to the comments made by the prior speaker, because you deserve an opportunity to be heard on that.
