Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Thanks to the witnesses. I'm going to ask my questions in quick succession, and witnesses may answer them after that.
Mr. Sookman, the comments you've made from the outset lead me to believe that we're working backwards. We've heard that many times since we began our study. Do you think there are any positive or useful aspects that should be retained? Are there any that we should develop further?
Earlier you talked about the tribunal. Among the various opinions we've heard to date, certain individuals believe that the tribunal should exist, while others, on the contrary, believe we should immediately go to an appellate court. I would like to hear your opinion on that.
Ms. Denham, attendees at the conference that was held in the UK a few weeks ago came to a certain consensus that there should be a voluntary code. In fact, I believe we've already signed the agreement regarding such a code.
Will that voluntary code replace certain bills in certain countries? Will some countries back off on certain elements that they've already put in place to make room for the voluntary code?
I'll let you go first, Mr. Sookman.
