Thank you, Madam Chair.
I apologize that I wasn't here for the beginning of your presentation. I had a very important phone call that I had to get today. I'm glad that we had somebody here who could sub for us earlier and who had some knowledge of all of this.
First of all, I would like to say that I come from the private sector. I would like to know whether consultations have included people from the private sector who are non-unionized, to get their input on how this is going to impact them in the future as well. As a woman who comes from business, from having my own business, I have some interest in seeing how this will roll forward.
On what we were speaking about earlier, Ms. Laurendeau, you were starting in on a discussion about the provinces, on how you've consulted with the provinces and what you've learned from them. I wonder if you could expound on that a little and take the time to tell us what you've learned there.
