Gentlemen, thank you for being here.
I think if you had been following discussions of this committee, and hopefully you have, you would understand that there is a general acceptance by all members on the committee that we should move forward with e-petitions. It's not a matter of if, but a matter of how to.
In that light, I'm going to address my comments, with all due respect Mr. Wudrick, to Monsieur Arsenault and Mr. Mercer, as they're representing jurisdictions that have actively had e-petitions in their own legislative assemblies for the last number of years.
I will ask both of you a question, and I'll start with Monsieur Arsenault.
Is there any advice you could give our committee as we move down the road to hopefully get to a protocol that allows e-petitions? Is there any advice you could give us, perhaps bumps in the road that you encountered that we should try to avoid, or any particular areas of implementation that we should concentrate on to make sure this implementation process is as seamless as possible?
