Okay. Thank you.
You've made a tremendously strong case for the rigorous scientific professionalism of the people around the table, particularly when it comes to a report that might be well-meaning but not quite at the level required for the science or the communications or something, which is why you would withdraw it rather than have it voted down, in many cases.
My question around that is that if COSEWIC is doing such a complete, comprehensive job of assessing the science, how come we have so many consultations after the report lands on the minister's desk? What sorts of consultations are being done over the following years, before it is acted upon?
