Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
One of the best experts I know on this issue is Dr. Hedy Fry, and I'm supposed to be her. I'm replacing her but I'm not at all an expert. She has certain questions I will ask, but first I have one of my own.
What would be your top recommendation to the federal government? We are not the provincial government; we don't have the same ability to intervene on these files, but I'm sure you have an idea about the federal government's specific role. I was the minister of intergovernmental affairs long enough to know that sometimes people put all their hopes in the federal government when the federal government has little means to intervene. But this does not mean we cannot find a way to intervene that would be helpful.
I would like to hear from each of you what top priority you would assign to the federal government.
