Thank you, Mr. Masse.
I have MP Rempel Garner and then MP Perkins on my list, or however you want to decide.
Just to give you a bit of context, colleagues, and although we appreciate you, Mr. Leech, taking the time and joining us this morning, we did accommodate for a slightly longer time frame so as to have Mr. Staffieri appear before the committee, and we extended what was originally planned in the motion.
It is my understanding, as chair, that we had a firm agreement that Mr. Staffieri would appear before this committee today to discuss the matter at hand, and it's important.
Changes were made at the last minute, indeed, and this is an opportunity to answer to Canadians, through the members of the committee. That is the context of this motion as I understand it.
I will now yield the floor to MP Rempel Garner.
