I think it would be very helpful. The experience in New Brunswick and federally in Canada amply demonstrates the need for that type of system. I would reaffirm what I was saying about the opportunity here in the context of a minority Parliament to advance law reform efforts. I think invariably what you see in practice in Canada and around the world is that governments-in-waiting are always interested in law reform in this area, and it's something that dissipates, unfortunately, often very quickly after they come into power. I think a regularly mandated parliamentary review is a necessary check against that tendency.
