I support the bill. I'm a member of this government and cabinet, and I support the bill, so let's make that clear from the outset.
The charter statement is meant to help frame debate. It's meant to help identify articles in the charter that might be engaged by a piece of potential legislation and to identify the considerations that might be looked at as an explanation of the bill. It is not meant to be a legal opinion, so you're absolutely correct in your question to note that there are going to be legal experts who say there isn't enough in the charter statement to say that the bill is completely in conformity with the charter, and that's never the case with any charter statement. There will be different legal opinions, depending on the weight any particular legal scholar, commentator or lawyer puts on any particular factor. I leave it to the lawyers, legal scholars and other experts to do that weighing in the public sphere.
The court system is part of this process, but obviously, I certainly would like, as a legislator, this committee to help improve the bill and my colleague to put forth a bill that is a great bill.
As I said, I support this bill, and I want to make that clear.
