Madam Speaker, I would like to thank my colleague.

I would like to just reflect on the past 40 days or so since the Supreme Court decision came about. The government has moved expeditiously to put forward this legislation. We thank the member and her party for their support and look forward to studying this bill at committee later on this year.

I want to ask her what she has been hearing from key stakeholders. I know that on our end, for example, we have heard this from LEAF:

LEAF supports this thoughtful, nuanced, and constitutional legislation to address the narrow gap resulting from the SCC decisions.

Could the member comment on what she has been hearing from key stakeholders in her riding and in Quebec?
