Thank you, Madam Chair.
I'd also like to thank all the witnesses here today. I'm very proud to see so many Quebec experts here with us to clarify this important matter for us.
I obviously have many questions, but my speaking time is short.
I'll start with Mr. Fortier.
A few minutes ago, Professor Côté said that the disputes we're discussing today should remain limited matters and that it's a good thing that countries and governments don't need to intervene. I must admit I agree with that.
We also heard from Mr. Appleton, who was talking about a greater public disclosure of information and greater involvement of parliamentarians in the dispute resolution process.
I was wondering if we could get your comments on these views and what you think the government's role should be, particularly as we are dealing with.... It is an alternative dispute mechanism process, but it is a dispute resolution process nonetheless, and we need to respect that.
Mr. Fortier.
