I appreciate very much what you said about the responsibility of the federal government on the moves it has to make and so on, and that you will work with those and continue to carry out your mandate as best you can.
I guess what I'm trying to get my head around, as I think some members of this committee are too, is what the effects will be. I think that's where you're coming from; it's about what the effects of these changes will be. It's important for us to hear from people like you who deal with this on a daily basis and with the consequences of events both immediately and down the road with all kinds of different effects.
Would it not make some sense to you, and would you not agree, that before these changes were to become law that there be a full consultation so that bodies like yours would have an opportunity to examine them, have input, and ensure the final changes that are made do the less harm?
