Ainsi, même si je n'ai pas l'expérience d'un engagement direct dans ces dernières séries de changements constitutionnels, je suis imprégné des réflexions de quelques érudits remarquables que j'ai la chance d'appeler mes collègues, dont plusieurs sont ici aujourd'hui.
I received my undergraduate and graduate training just as those battles were being processed and understood. While I do not have the history of direct engagement that members of the committee and certainly many witnesses have in those last rounds of constitutional change, I am steeped in the reflections of some of those remarkable scholars, whom I am lucky enough to call colleagues, several of whom are here today.
