Thank you, Madam Chair.
Ms. Kwan, you're someone who has been at the committee a few times. I'm sure you'll find a way to do that. Welcome back to committee.
Mr. Simard, welcome back as well.
Mr. Sawyer, I'm not sure if I've seen you at committee before, but if so, welcome back, and if not, welcome.
I want to pose a question to all three of you first, right off the bat. In 2020, the CBA policy was first announced by the current government, and in 2021, it was included in the Liberal Party platform. Then in 2022, consultations were undertaken by the government to do it.
First off, were any of the three of you consulted as part of those consultations? I'll start with you, Ms. Kwan.
