Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to start by thanking the witnesses for being here today. It's very important for our committee. I also want to thank the technicians for taking care of the technical component. Otherwise, we wouldn't be able to speak with the witnesses and understand their needs.
My questions are for you, Mr. Chartrand. As you know, November 16 will mark the 135th anniversary of the execution of Louis Riel. To date, the Canadian government has never apologized for the execution. In your opinion, should it do so? Would overturning Louis Riel's conviction and placing a statue on Parliament Hill to commemorate him be enough to bring about reconciliation?
