Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I want to deal with a bit of misinformation.
The officials have been incredibly generous with their time, and not only at committee. In my case and in the NDP's case, they have been available to answer any questions about any of the bill's provisions or any of the amendments. A lot of work goes into preparing for committee clause-by-clause analysis.
I wanted to thank the officials for being available, basically night and day, to answer our questions. It's not true that the only chance we get to ask questions about legislation is at the committee table. A lot of time and a lot of availability have been provided by the officials, and they answered my questions, which meant I could come to this meeting prepared.
Thanks, Mr. Chair.
