That the right is codified will not guarantee that it is effectively used. The absence of codification of a right will certainly muddy the waters and make it much more difficult for those who legitimately have the right to assert it for both moral purposes and revenue purposes, and it's for that reason that we're asking for it. It's not that it would create a new right, but it would bring some very useful clarity to bear, not only in respect of the monetization of rights but also in respect of the amendments the government has advanced.
