Thank you very much, Mr. Chairman.
Welcome.
I would also like to welcome you to Ontario in the 1990s. What I see here is truly a repeat of what happened in this province in the 1990s. The current minister in the federal Conservative government was at the time a minister in the Ontario Conservative government, when some groups were targeted, including teachers and nurses. Once they decided they were going to do that, the government created a crisis. The Conservatives were elected and said that they would solve the problem.
When I see a word like “chisellers” in English, I start thinking that this is perhaps more than just politics. It is an attack against retailers to make an impact. It's not a mistake, it's not something that happened by chance. They have created a crisis, as they said at the time. Now it's been done and it's a thing of the past.
Ms. Marcotte, you mentioned that you were surprised that there hadn't been a study? There was a small report. Can you tell us a little more about what you were expecting in a report or a study. What should happen before a bill like this is considered?
