Thank you, Madam Chair.
My first question is for Mr. Brunelle‑Duceppe or Mr. Simard, or both.
If I understand you correctly, the first proposal was opposed by certain people in the riding and by the two of you. The commission then came up with a second proposal, which hasn't met with universal approval either.
What led the commissioners to change the first proposal? Did you tell them it was okay, originally?
