Thank you very much, Mr. Chair. Thank you to all the witnesses today for their excellent testimony and also their advocacy on this important subject, and thanks to the committee for undertaking this important work. Since I only have three minutes, I'm going to ask Martin Dumas a question. The bill before us sets out a transparency framework for businesses and government institutions but has not set out a due diligence framework. It's a two-part question. If Canada were to adopt this transparency-based approach, how would it compare to other international jurisdictions? Also, in your opinion, is there any way that we could include not only a general set of transparency obligations that cover entities, but also due diligence obligations for a subset of the universe of covered entities under the bill?

Thank you very much. I just wanted to inform the committee and the witnesses that Minister O'Regan wanted to be here today, but he was already scheduled for some in-person consultation with employers about the replacement workers and the anti-scab legislation. He is available on Monday for the committee. Thank you very much.
