Thank you, Madam Chair. I appreciate this very much.
I am not speaking as a member of the Liberal Party, nor is this a political comment; however, I do want to extend my thanks to you.
There are three people I would like to thank. First of all, Ms. Bonsant, obviously. I would also like to thank the three individuals who had the courage to appear today. Mr. Provencher recounted what he has been through, but through their words, we can guess what Mr. Laroche and Ms. Gaudreault also experienced even though they make no mention of this in their presentation. It takes a great deal of courage to come and talk about these issues, and to go beyond one's own experience in order to gain some perspective.
