Thank you, Chair.
Thank you to all the deponents here—not opponents, but deponents. I just want to make that clear. It's great to have you here to help us build a better bill, hopefully.
I want to say in particular to Ms. Arsenault and Markita that I appreciate your comments about the hybridization. We have been hearing these concerns about the impact it will have on the ability to have just sentences.
I'll have a couple of questions for Ms. Parkes a little bit later, but I will start with Ms. Arsenault. I want to get a sense of your advocacy and whether you feel you've been heard appropriately and adequately by the current government. How do you feel about that?
