Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I would also like to thank Ms. Dion and Ms. Gualtieri for their very moving testimony.
Ms. Gualtieri, I wasn't aware of your situation, but I was very aware of Mr. Sabourin's and Ms. Dion's efforts to help him.
I'd like to reassure you that everyone around the table agrees on the substance of this important Bill C‑290. We're trying to improve the legislation to ensure that we avoid the kind of problems like the ones you've experienced or witnessed.
My questions will be a little more specific, and I hope you'll be willing to answer them.
Madam Gualtieri, given your direct experience of this, what are your thoughts on this bill's expansion of protection to public servants, not the actual disclosure of wrongdoing but those who are involved in the disclosure of wrongdoings?
