Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to thank the three witnesses for joining us. Their testimonies were really quite insightful.
I would also like to thank my colleague for moving the motion for this committee study.
The witnesses' work reminds us that we have concrete ways to strengthen citizen participation and to rebuild the bonds of social trust, despite the decline in democratic vitality. I would like you to give us, the government, some concrete examples of how we can strengthen citizen participation. A number of studies show that trust among citizens is just as important as trust in the government. How can we strengthen this horizontal trust in increasingly diverse societies?
I think that all three of you can answer my question, but that Mr. Beebe could respond first.
