Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
With the sounds of this today, maybe some of these Liberal members will be voting against their own government's bill. I don't know. We'll have to wait and see.
My first question is for Mr. Schneider.
I understand and respect what Mr. Masse has to say, and I'm sure you'll have a lot of comments for Minister Bains when he appears, as will I. I understand your job isn't to defend or promote the Liberal bill. You're here to give your thoughts on it.
There is one question I wanted to ask you regarding the rules around the voting for boards of directors. Let's forget about diversity and all that just for a second, and let's just focus on the mechanics of it. I'm curious about one of the unintended consequences that could be in this. For example, a lot of what the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan and the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board and Borealis would invest in, such as small start-up software companies or high-tech companies, will eventually go public in whatever market they decide to go public in. Could an unintended consequence of this structure be the election of the boards and board takeovers for these companies as soon as they go public? Could this be an unintended consequence of this bill?
