Time is up. We'd like to go to the next examiner right now.
Before we go to Monsieur Laforest, I would make a couple of comments to the examiners. If you are referring to the report prepared by the Library of Parliament, I would ask that you refer to the page in order to assist the interpreters. It helps with the translation.
Secondly, I'm going to remind members to keep your questions short and to the point.
I'd also ask the witness to be brief and to keep the answers entirely relevant to the questions being asked.
Mr. Laforest.
