Thank you for attending, Mr. Beatty.
I'd like to point out--and this has no reference whatsoever to the previous questioning. I wanted to put on the record that it's fashionable in some quarters to not speak too highly of organizations like the Canadian Chamber of Commerce, as if they are some kind of a bogeyman, or whatever the case may be. The fact is that your organization represents the heartbeat of the economy of Canada. I know many of my colleagues have a tremendously high respect for your organization, as we do for you, since you earned an excellent reputation as a former minister of the crown, and I thank you for being here.
The question I have for you is, could you give us your best guess as to the percentage of equity on the Toronto Stock Exchange and on the Vancouver Stock Exchange that would be represented by extractive companies that would potentially be affected by Bill C-300?
