Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to thank the witnesses for being with us this afternoon. My first question will be for Mr. Bolduc and Ms. Legault‑Thuot.
You both emphasized the right of workers to an in‑person hearing before this new appeal board and to regional representation, so that access to rights isn't limited by burdensome transportation and accommodation costs, for example. I don't know if you had a chance to listen to the people who were with us in the last hour, but I asked this question and was told that there would be these opportunities. Is an opportunity a right? I'm a bit skeptical.
Based on what you've heard, does this give you some comfort, or do you still have concerns with Bill C‑19?
I would ask Mr. Bolduc to answer first. Then I'd like to hear from Ms. Legault‑Thuot.
