I'd like to bring the meeting back to order.
I would like to indicate that we will adjourn a little earlier this morning because we have some committee business. We want members to be mindful of that.
We welcome the new panel. Thank you very much for attending today as we study Bill C-44.
I know that at least some of you had the opportunity to be here during the first panel. It was very touching and compelling testimony. We can hardly imagine what it must be like to appear before a committee. We certainly commend you for your courage and for the fact that you have taken the time to personally invest in these issues and come before us and answer questions.
I understand we will start with Mr. Serre. Go ahead.
