Thank you, Madam Chair.
Thanks very much to our witnesses.
Witnesses usually come and tell us about problems, but you've spent a lot of time outlining solutions. Thank you very much for your recommendations, which will help us prepare a national report so that we can support the provinces on this issue.
My first question is for Ms. Pertuiset-Ferland.
Have you conducted any studies or collected data on the rural situation? Do you have any specific recommendations on ways to address the problems experienced in the rural areas of Quebec, Ontario and Canada as a whole?
