Thank you very much.
Mr. Bégin, I can tell the committee that we attended a meeting with other unions and Minister Champagne, to discuss the sale of Resolute Forest Products to Paper Excellence before the transaction was completed. To be fully transparent, however, the committee should also be told that a watchdog committee was struck, including Mr. Vaillancourt and members from other unions, to voice workers' concerns. To date, that committee has not met with the new owners of the various Paper Excellence facilities, particularly in Saguenay-Lac‑Saint‑Jean.
What concerns have been raised with the Minister regarding this transaction? Can you just go over the main concerns workers have about the Paper Excellence transaction?
