The minister had talked about a potential conflict between recommendation number two and recommendation number six. On one hand, you're broadening the application for court review, while on the other you're giving yourself broader discretion to refuse or discontinue complaints. Going that route would create greater grounds for appeals to the courts. As guardians of the public purse, we are concerned about these two recommendations, which are not only at odds with each other, but if they're implemented they could place an undue burden on the courts and the costs associated with these sorts of appeals. I was just wondering if you could comment on that.
