Thank you very much, Mr. Chair, and thank you to all the witnesses here today. I really appreciate their being here.
I want to ask a question of Rabia Khedr.
Thank you so much for coming to Parliament Hill on the day of the vote. I know you came to meet me with a group of individuals—
By the way, it's Michael Coteau from Don Valley East.
I want to say thank you for coming to meet and talk with members about the co-development piece. When you left my office, that was one of the messages that stuck with me: co-development and making sure we stick to the general principle of “nothing without us”.
There have been members here who have suggested that going straight into a framework that allows for the regulations to outline the program details, and focusing on that through co-development, is not the right approach. They would rather see it all in the legislation.
Can you speak to the importance of co-development through regulation?
