Thank you, Mr. Chair. I thank all the witnesses who are here with us today. I know that the topic we are studying right now is tough. As one of my colleagues just said, this is an historic moment, but we are facing some challenges. I will start with you, Mr. Belcourt. Earlier, you mentioned something. You said that you wish the committee could see more clearly what is coming out of the arguments against Bill C‑53. I am paraphrasing what you said, but you get the idea. I would have liked to hear more before your comments about these arguments, even though some have already been raised. I would also like you to tell us what committee members should be seeing in these arguments.

Thank you, Mr. Chair. I will try to be brief. I want to spare the interpreters. That is why I do not want to speak too quickly. You mentioned earlier that you would like the committee to see clearly what is coming out of the arguments being made against Bill C‑53. I would have liked to hear your comments on these arguments and what you want the committee to see in these arguments.

In fact, I want to know which arguments go against the bill, in your view. You said you want the committee to see clearly what is coming out of the arguments. I wanted to give you the opportunity to talk about the arguments being made by the opposing party so that you, Tony Belcourt, could tell us what you think about the arguments being made against Bill C‑53.

I am sorry to interrupt you, but I have very little time and, with what happened, I miscalculated the time I have left. In any case, you could send us other responses in writing if we run out of time. You raised the argument of legitimacy, but you think other arguments should be made to the committee? If so, do you want to talk about those and tell us what we should be looking at?

I would like to hear from Ms. Starblanket on the same topic. In fact, I am interested in hearing all the witnesses, both from Ontario and Saskatchewan, on the arguments against this bill.
