Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I also want to thank our guests for the information they've given us today.
Mr. Sheikh, my colleague Mr. Lake asked very specific questions concerning the issue of violence, in particular, and that of the balance that might be undermined by this bill. On at least three occasions, you said: “in the minister's view”, “according to the minister”, “what the minister thinks”. Can you tell us whether you're testifying today based on the minister's opinion or based on your own opinion as a senior official?
