Procedure and House Affairs committee  Thank you, Chair. I thank our witnesses for being here today to testify. This is a very complex issue.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Ms. McCuaig-Johnston, go ahead.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  That's really interesting.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Thank you. This is so interesting. I will come back to the part I was talking about: having the general public have a level of awareness and literacy in terms of these issues.

Procedure and House Affairs committee  Thank you, Chair. I'm going to come back to you, Mr. Wilczynski, about the redaction of papers.
