Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Good afternoon, honourable members.
Good afternoon to those taking part in this meeting. Your comments are very interesting.
I'll begin with Mr. Lavigne from the Fédération des chambres de commerce du Québec.
Mr. Lavigne, I'd like to address several points with you. First, I want to point out that Bill C‑208 was passed and is ready to come into effect. It just hasn't yet.
In your opinion, what would be the benefits of the legislation coming into effect immediately?
