Thanks very much, Mr. Chair.
I just want to echo the comments made thus far. I think they've all been good, and I want to thank Ms. Freeman for all the work she did. I must say she came prepared.
I think we have a tremendous amount of good information here from the different areas. I thank the analysts for providing us with that. It certainly was good reading, and provocative. It certainly brought up a lot of questions.
I think it'll be critical that we develop a fairly rigid, for lack of a better word, work plan so we can outline what parameters we want to study. There are a lot of different things in this information. We go from municipal to provincial to federal governments. I think the point Ms. Block made about the jurisdictions and the legislative powers, and so on, is going to be critical in where we go. Hopefully we're going to set up a work plan, so that we will be a little bit structured in the direction we're taking.
I think we'll find a lot of value in other studies. I agree we probably should try to visit a couple of these places, and for those we can't, make sure we have delegations in. In some cases, we may have to do a video conference or something. I think there would be some interesting points to learn from all of them.
The other thing I note in the information we got is that some very limited things are already being done by the federal government here. I think we need to pursue that, but we need to make sure we're all clear on what is happening and how that might be working or not working.
I think it's important that we recognize that some things are being done here already, although they're limited. So we need to incorporate that into it as well.
