Thank you, Mr. Chair. I was waiting for acknowledgement.
I can speak to these amendments on behalf of the Department of Innovation, Science and Economic Development. The amendments that were proposed as part of the budget implementation act are the product of ongoing policy dialogue with stakeholders and the Competition Bureau dating back several years, and the Bar Association is included in those conversations. They're also informed by public stakeholder positions, such as those provided to parliamentary committee hearings and the ongoing policy dialogue on this important topic in the public sphere.
