Thanks, Mr. Chair.
Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for coming to the hearing today.
My questions are directed to the Canadian Bar Association. Any one of you can answer them. They are in two parts, so I will tell you the questions first, and you can then decide which one to answer first.
First of all, can you explain how law societies discipline their members? In our discussion earlier, a lot of you mentioned the fact that discipline is important to make sure that your members are following the rules. Why is this important? That's question number one. Second, how will improved information-sharing with the Canadian government, as Bill C-35 has suggested, strengthen this law society function?
Thank you very much for answering.
