Thank you, Chair. I had only asked my Conservative colleagues, but I appreciate it from the Liberals as well.
First, Colonel Joshi, thank you very much for your testimony. There's nothing in what you've said, nor in Bill C-76 as it pertains to our women and men serving overseas, that we object to. I'm glad these reforms have come about. I'm going to devote much of my questioning to Mr. Therrien. Don't take any offence. It's hard to ask questions of someone when you're agreeing with them a lot.
It's not that I disagree with what you said, Mr. Therrien, but there are some things in this bill that cause concern, and that's what I would hope to get at.
To clarify, in Europe, for 20 years, political parties have been subjected to some privacy provisions and some limitations.
