Chairman, it's not within my competence to make a judgment with respect to the suitability or applicability of Bill C-32. We've consulted, in the context of these negotiations, with those officials who are responsible for that package of measures. We have delivered an agreement that we believe respects the content of what it is they're trying to do. But it's not the competence of Foreign Affairs and International Trade to make a determination as to whether one aspect or another is an appropriate element in that legislation.
