Thank you very much to everyone for coming and presenting to the committee.
I'm going to direct most of my questions for the time being to Mr. Bennett as well. I apologize to the other panellists for that.
You mentioned that there are some historical systemic reasons that the law in Canada is divided between public and private, and that because of that separation, political parties have been able to fall through the cracks.
What exactly are those reasons? I understood from your presentation that given our situation in Canada, we wouldn't be able to reconcile those two acts and have one piece of governing legislation. What are the reasons? Do you think that is possible? Is it desirable?
