Thank you, Mr. Chair.
Good evening, colleagues.
We are pleased to see you, Mr. Ledwell and Mr. Harris, and Minister Petitpas Taylor.
Ms. Petitpas Taylor, I want to commend you for attending the four-day summit in Montreal; I was also there. Wonderful that you did that at the beginning of your mandate.
My questions are not so pleasant, I'm afraid.
Are you willing to acknowledge that the government is responsible for the delays in the construction of the monument, owing to its various nonsensical decisions?
