I do appreciate being here and I think this committee is doing a good job hearing from a diverse variety of witnesses. The breadth of the budget bill in its entirety, even just part 3, is so enormous and such a policy change for Canada—and, admittedly, the government has said that this bill will change the direction of Canada in many ways—it's difficult to wrap your mind around how many changes are happening and what they will really mean.
