Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I thank all the witnesses for being here.
Perhaps I'll begin with you, Mr. Julius. We have seen a brief you submitted to the committee back in April. We thank you for that. In that brief you mentioned that you are comparing best practices with those of a host of other nations, including the United States. I'm wondering if you have any particular perspectives from what you've learned from this inquiry or investigation or comparison that you've undertaken.
