Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
I thank the two witnesses for being with us this morning.
Mr. Roebuck, congratulations on the important position you hold. I cannot believe the position was vacant for so long, as my Conservative colleague mentioned. In any event, you are here.
In your statement, you made recommendations and used clear language. You said that there needs to be meaningful consultation and that a formal review should be conducted after two years. In your recommendations, I sense that you have significant concerns.
With Bill C‑28, do you think we achieved the desired balance between defending individuals and protecting victims, or do you instead think that the bill will not be effective?
