I can make some comments from the agency's standpoint about Bill C-27. Bill C-27 would have allowed the agency to obtain a little bit more power for enforcement. It was about harmonizing the agency's powers for enforcement purposes, and it would have given us some more authority for imports, as an example, and other things. It was considered to be a good piece of legislation.
When the agency was created, we inherited a bunch of acts that have enforcement capacities that are different according to each piece of legislation. Bill C-27 would have allowed us to harmonize them, and it would have given us a little bit more authority on biotechnology, as an example, and other things.
The agency can function without it, but it would have been an improvement.
