Thank you Mr. Chair.
Thank you to all the witnesses.
My questions are for Ms. Bednar, Ms. Hearn and Mr. Larouche. I will give them almost my entire five minutes because I find their comments very interesting.
Ms. Bednar and Ms. Hearn, I would like to know your definition of a “gatekeeper”. That word is used a lot right now by someone I know well in my political party, and I want to be sure I understand it correctly. You spoke about gatekeepers in the private sector and in the federal government. What is the difference between the two, if you see a difference?
Mr. Larouche, based on what we are hearing today, it is as though the federal government has become such a large ship that it is now unable to turn on a dime, or even a $10 bill. It takes too much time to adapt to technology that would provide adequate services to people.
I give the floor to you, Ms. Bednar and Ms. Hearn.
