Thank you very much, Chair.

Thank you to all the witnesses for coming today.

I want to start with Mr. Burstein and Ms. Dann. I used to act for the B.C. Review Board, and I know of your reputation. I really welcome you to the committee.

I agree with Ms. Dann that review boards are often given deference by the courts in determining risk; there's just no doubt about that in the case law.

I want to ask both the CLA and the CBA a very simple question. If there were no amendments to Bill C-54, would you support this bill?
