Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you all for taking part in this very interesting and extremely enlightening meeting, as always. This meeting is shorter than what was scheduled, but there are a lot of elements that we can discuss. I'd like to start by addressing Mr. Thérien from the Canadian Bar Association.
Good afternoon, Mr. Thérien. Welcome to the committee.
I am going to follow up on something your colleague said. However, for discussion purposes, I'll speak mainly to you and in French.
I'd like more details on one point. In your presentation, you spoke about the impact this bill could have on Canada's reputation abroad if we were to pass it or amend it too quickly.
What are your concerns in this respect?
