Thank you very much, Chair.
Thank you, Professor Simons, for your very compelling testimony today. I just want to take a step back. We've been studying this issue over the past number of meetings. We're exploring what I think is ultimately the objective of the CORE, which is to prevent human rights abuses from occurring specifically on behalf of Canadian corporations as they operate around the world.
We look at the CORE and we look at the NCP as tools to use to lead to that prevention. Can you perhaps contextualize a little bit the court system and the litigation of these companies in the courts? What role does that whole scenario have to play within this model of prevention that we're trying to put into place in Canada?
