Well, one part of new and adventuresome is the cost funding in the legislation. That clearly is new and cutting-edge. The reverse of that, which is to use cost awards in proceedings before tribunals and courts has been used punitively, in my opinion, in Ontario. It becomes punitive not only in the magnitude of the award, it becomes so costly to fight the possibility of a cost award, that in itself.
What you've done here in this bill, for the legal opportunities provided, is you've taken that stigma out and allowed it to be much friendlier to proper intervenors, people who have a legitimate case brought forward.
So that, I think, is cutting-edge. I congratulate you for considering it, because it is an interesting and dynamic part. I wish I had that in Ontario.
For the rest, I see it as being similar to some of the stuff that we've pioneered and added to the existing role. I don't see it as being terribly dramatic, but very worthwhile.
