Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Mr. Barney, in the brief that you presented to the committee in April, you talked about public consultation, like we are having today. You said that:
...public consultation exercises oriented to adding a veneer of legitimacy to decisions already taken elsewhere, or to testing communication strategies for public relations campaigns surrounding a given policy or regulatory measure, undermine democratic engagement with science and technology more than they support it.
Can you give us one example where public consultation is effective and one example where it is ineffective? How can we involve the public in an effective process?
