Thank you, Mr. Chairman. As I've already made my comments, I'm going to move on to questions.
Mr. Verner said she wanted to consult all Canadians. I'm going to come back to that later. With regard to the Court Challenges Program, last Tuesday, we heard from the representatives of the organization responsible for that program, and it appears that even they were not consulted. They did not have the opportunity to respond to the government's questions and concerns. Don't you find that a bit much?
If I understand correctly—and you have material supporting that—in the matter of the inclusion of the riding of Acadie—Bathurst in that of Miramichi, the court held that voters were not consulted on that change. In this case, that's serious: these people did not even consult the persons responsible for the program.
