Thank you very much, Mr. Chair, and thank you all for coming.
I appreciate the testimony that has made really clear that it's not the content or the particular tribunal decisions that have been arrived at that are the worry. I think that's important for colleagues on this committee to hear, because sometimes the justifications for this bill seem to shade into a concern that only so-called offensive speech is being attacked by section 13, which isn't the case at all in the actual jurisprudence.
You are more concerned with all kinds of dimensions of abuse of the system. And I think that's important, because to me, it leaves open the possibility that we can fix the system without, as my colleague has said a couple of times, throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
That said, it was with a heavy heart that I heard Mr. Kurz say that his hope was that the legislation could be fixed, but he doesn't see any legislation on the table to fix it. There were a few times in your comments when you said that you feel as if this is a fait accompli.
I'm just wondering whether you've made efforts, or if you know others who have made efforts, with the government itself—this is a private member's bill—to actually fix section 13 in the ways you've been suggesting.
