Mr. Shrake, I think there's been a misunderstanding of your testimony, certainly on the part of some opposition members. The fact of the matter is that you have given us an absolutely classic example of the kind of thing that happens when there are unfair charges, and it is the position of the government that Bill C-300 would just increase the pile-on.
I believe that you have Canadian equity in your company; therefore, you would be subject to Bill C-300. As I say, there are already these egregious, unfair, and outrageous charges that have been made against you and your company that would be exacerbated very substantially by the imposition of Bill C-300. Now the interesting thing is that there has been a total ignoring of the function of the CSR counsellor, who is in place and is coming up to speed—notwithstanding the cynicism of my friends on the other side of the table. The fact is that all of the things they have said they want to happen under Bill C-300 are going to be happening, and are in fact happening, under the CSR counsellor. So I thank you very much for your testimony.
The question that I have of you is that it seems to me that you have come here with this story. If you were approached by the CSR counsellor with the claims of these NGOs, would it not be...? In fact I think you've indicated that it would only be responsible to respond to the CSR counsellor and that you would be very happy to react to that CSR counsellor. Given the fact that it is voluntary compliance, you would be pretty happy to volunteer, and any responsible company would be happy to volunteer, wouldn't they?
