Thank you. It was just to reiterate Mac's point.

I think this bill has a potential for much more reputational damage for Canadian mining companies because of the lack of clear, transparent guidelines, standards on which we could make a fair determination, and the resources by means of which we could investigate complaints. It's open to abuse, and we believe that abuse will increase and the reputation of the industry will suffer much greater damage.
