Thank you, Mr. Chair, and thank you, Mr. DeVries.
I share sentiments similar to those of my colleague, Ms. Duncan. Common sense isn't as common as it used to be, I guess. With a mere 30 years of experience, this probably isn't the first time you have felt this way. Were you not in a position to make recommendations at that time? Is that why these weren't implemented? From your past experience, maybe you could elaborate on some of the hesitation of previous governments—why they didn't accept your wisdom.
