Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I would like to welcome all the witnesses appearing today.
Since I will be speaking French, I suggest that you use the earpiece for simultaneous interpretation.
Let's talk about Bill S-3, which is a government bill.
Based on the various testimony we have heard, it seems that each of you has reservations and considers it to be imperfect. This bill does all the same respond to a Superior Court decision. I understand that this is not our ultimate objective, but it is at least a first step.
I would like to hear your views on what the second phase of the government consultation process should include and what the result should be. The minister has pledged to hold this consultation to guide her, and the committee is meeting today to hear your views.
Mr. Matson, you may begin and give us your opinion.
