One of the advantages of its going to cabinet—I know you're saying it's not, and I understand that—is that other ministers can argue the point, based on a memorandum to cabinet, that it would affect their industry.
When something is gazetted, and it's increasing costs to industries, how often is it rolled back? I don't know if it ever is. I think you're hearing from members that there is a bit of concern about user fees and whether the efficiencies are there, in the departments and on the government side, to make savings in other areas rather than just impose additional fees. What you are hearing is some concern.
In any event, I think that's it for questions. We appreciate your fairly direct responses to those questions.
I apologize to those who came for divisions 17, 20, and 21. We won't be able to get to you. We'll have to schedule you in at another time. We have divisions that have been farmed out as well.
In any event, the clerk will be back to those groups that didn't get up to appear. I appreciate your having sat through the hearings and being available.
The meeting is adjourned.
