Thank you.
Mr. Ferguson, am I allowed to say congratulations on your French? I've been studying for a bit and have had a difficult time. You seem to be doing a lot better than I am in a much shorter time period, so congratulations on that, sir.
I want to pick up on something you said. I think it was in regard to the bill applying to employees no matter what duties they carry out. You said that the committee may wish to consider whether the objectives of the bill could still be met by restricting its application to those senior managers and employees with authority. What you're saying, in essence, is that perhaps people who are doing administrative work in your office shouldn't be necessarily subject to the entire force of this bill.
In terms of bringing it forward to senior managers or people who are in control of particular files, would that be a good idea? Is that something we should seriously consider?
We're just trying to make what you consider a not necessarily spectacular bill better by looking at ways of improving it.
