Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
Mr. Saint-Denis, thank you for being here this morning.
I will begin by wishing Ève Péclet a happy birthday, as she has reached the ripe old age of 25 this morning. It certainly makes the rest of us around this table feel old, but it's all good.
Mr. Saint-Denis, can you briefly talk about the consultations which were held around Bill C-10? The Excise Act, 2001, already contains an offence for that. Can you explain to us the difference between the two provisions? Are they similar? Is there not a risk that it is in conflict with the act? With whom did the department discuss this risk?
