Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to apologize. I had to go give a speech in the House, so I may have missed some things. I'd like to avoid repeating anything that may have already been asked in my absence. That said, Mr. Lawford and Ms. Sai, I'd like to ask you some questions to follow up on Mr. Gaheer's question about the tribunal that the bill aims to create.
I have great respect for Mr. Balsillie, whom the committee received on Tuesday, and for Mr. Geist, who appeared last week. I digress to say that, so far, no one has spoken positively about this bill. I think we have a serious problem.
Moreover, Mr. Lawford and Ms. Sai, you're saying that we should remove the provisions to create a tribunal from the bill because that could slow down the process should any lawsuits be filed after the bill comes into force.
Could you elaborate on that?
