Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I also want to thank the witnesses who are here with us.
As I keep saying, this topic is necessary, but tough. As I did during the first part of the meeting, I will leave space for each person since some are vehemently against the bill and others fiercely defend it.
The proposed amendments might help make the bill somewhat acceptable to a minority of the witnesses. I would like to hear all three of you comment on the arguments raised by the opposing party and tell us how you would respond to those arguments.
You have already talked about it to some extent in your testimonies, but I want to give you the opportunity to elaborate.
I would like to hear you one after the other. Perhaps Mr. Meawasige could start, followed by Mr. Quintal and Mrs. McVicar.
