I'm very pleased that Diane Brisebois and Heather Mak from the Retail Council could join us, because I have to applaud the work that the Retail Council has done. Diane pointed out, and Heather very actively shows this every day because she's on this file to make sure that everybody's included, that everyone has an opportunity to participate. It certainly seems to be the predominant issue she's dealing with these days.
I honestly can't speak for why others choose to join one organization or another. I can simply say, as I've done many times publicly, that the reason we decided to participate and sign the accord was twofold; one, that it was a legally binding document and we were willing to accept that responsibility and what comes with that; and two, we saw it as worker focused. The accord requires the participating companies, the signatories, to ensure the workers are kept as these improvements occur. I don't think any of us are fooled by the idea that this is going to be a quick fix; this is going to take some time. Each individual improvement plan applied to each individual factory that requires an improvement plan is probably going to displace some workers, either closing the factory completely or otherwise. Making sure those workers who are affected continue to be paid, we thought, was a very important part of the approach.
So we are very pleased that so many companies are moving forward. I did express our frustration in my opening remarks at the speed with which this is moving, notwithstanding that it's an incredibly large undertaking and the compensation file was very frustrating—
