Thanks to both of our witnesses. I would also like to acknowledge the members of the public who have come out to join us today and I look forward to the open mike session that we'll be having later.
I'd like to say, Mr. Kidd, that it was fascinating to read through your material. The thought that you've put into it was very impressive. I'll tell you that the piece I liked about it is the simplicity of marking an X. I think that's something Canadians could go with. It's simple.
The concern underlying the question I had as I was reading through it, though, as it gets into the mathematical calculations and as you had to add pieces to deal with distortions, is that then you get into more and more complexity. I wonder whether at some time we reach a tipping point whereby we may lose Canadians' ability to go with a system that is so new and innovative. Will they actually go with it?
The question I have for you is simply concerning your process. Have you had a chance to talk to anybody about this, or is it a model that you've come up with that you are throwing out to us, such that we have to then figure out whether it would actually work as designed?
