Thank you, Mr. Chair.

Thank you to the witnesses. This is a very important matter that you have put before us. What you are saying is very similar, because the bill is very important.

I have a question for Ronald. You seem to be saying that, when the federal government consulted with you in preparing Bill C-53, what you said was ignored.

What did you say to the government that was ignored, and what needs to be heard now?
