I will come back to the amendment we are currently discussing.

The government is proposing a new definition. The NDP is proposing another one, which is consistent with the one used in Quebec, if I understood correctly.

What is the government's intention in terms of changing the definition? In our opinion, the definition is less appropriate than the one in the NDP amendment, which aligns with the definition used in Quebec.

As was mentioned, you've met with various stakeholders over 10 times. They were trying to influence you so to draft a particular definition.

Are you currently still meeting with those stakeholders?
