I appreciate that.
I want to comment on your comments that suggest there's a fait accompli with regard to the legislation. If we go down this path with Bill C-300, you said that because of some of the clauses in the bill and the intent of the bill--I'm not sure if you would say one or the other--your concern is that there would be a chilling effect of sorts.
I'm wondering why you say that. On the one hand, you're saying you have engaged working on the IFC principles--and I laud the EDC for doing this. The bill refers to those. It says the government has a whole year to establish the guidelines. I just wonder if you want to correct the impression that this is a done deal. You acknowledged that in clause 5 in the bill there's a process to talk to partners, and obviously the people who have a role to play in that would be the EDC.
