Thank you, Madam Chair.
I would like to thank my colleagues for their presentation. For colleagues who were not involved in drafting the bill or may not be aware of what happened during that period in Lebel-sur-Quévillon, it might be appropriate to be given an overview of the events. It is important to keep things in context; the employer could have shut down before that. However, the company shut down at a time when its own employees no longer had any recourse.
Perhaps you could explain all of that, Mr. Lévesque, because you are quite familiar with the events.
