Thank you.
I certainly wasn't expecting, when you bring testimony here, that you're going to come with succinct recommendations and that our work is done for us. But this is a trail-blazing conversation—you probably all realize this—and we need to have an enlightened discussion. With all due respect for your time in preparing your statement and the work you've done here, we do really believe that Canadians and the members of Parliament who are around this table here deserve to hear from you your educated perspective on this, not just your role in defending what exists.
I take exception to that. I'm not really comfortable with people sitting here and telling us that. And I don't mean that in a confrontational way. I just mean this needs to be a springboard for meaningful discussion. And, yes, we're the ones who are going to have to do the hard work and make a recommendation or say that, you know what, this status quo is satisfactory. So I just want to clarify that.
Thank you.
