Thank you, Mr. Chair.
I'd like to welcome the two ministers and their teams.
All my questions will be for Ms. Petitpas Taylor. I'd like to begin with the process, for a better understanding of why we are here. You said that a jury had chosen a winner from among the five finalists, but that further to a consultation launched by the minister, the veterans chose a different design.
I understand the criticisms from Mr. Paul‑Hus and Mr. Desilets with respect to the survey, but I believe that our purpose here on the Standing Committee on Veterans Affairs is to move important matters forward on behalf of veterans, and that doubtless is precisely your role too, Ms. Petitpas Taylor.
On the other hand, the most vociferous criticisms came from Quebec. I want to understand why only the jury's point of view was being considered, and not the veterans' point of view. Can you help me understand that?
More precisely, Minister, can you discuss the results of the survey carried out by your department, solely for the province of Quebec? What did people in Quebec think about it?
