Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thank you to our witnesses for appearing here today.
I have to echo a lot of the comments from my colleague Mr. Reynolds. I'd like to thank you and all the witnesses who appeared before us today. Your research and your professional work help us to better understand as legislators where we need to focus more, to do better and to pass the message on to grieving parents that they have been heard. It is time to get this bill passed. It's been quite a few years.
In the previous meeting, we heard from parents who have been working on this for at least 10 years following the death of their child. Before that, I've heard stories since the nineties. I think we can all agree at this committee that all members are prioritizing this bill. As a government, we ensured the inclusion of funding for grieving parents so there would be no stumbling block where funding is concerned. This is why we need to move it out of committee as quickly as possible, get it back to the House and make sure it becomes law—Evan's law.
For the balance of my time, I would like to give each of you an opportunity to provide us with some closing remarks or some final thoughts that you think we haven't touched upon and that you think would benefit all of us and would be relevant to include in our report on the testimony.
Ms. deMontigny, I would like to hear your answer first, please.
