Of course, that's what you intend to do right now, but how do we know that you follow through with your intentions in the years to come?
Your logic is as good as mine. The question of providing answers in the bill can be revisited later if the objective, first and foremost, is to reassure the people who do research in the field.
As you know, our research institutes—and I'm talking mainly here about our universities—do not have a great deal of money to do research. Some concerns have been expressed about the implementation costs.
You say in your notes that the bill's impact will be minimal. Nevertheless, it will have an impact of some kind. Often, having a minimal impact means that there will be no money available for completing the studies under way. I look forward to hearing in the days ahead from witnesses who are more knowledge about this field. If no provision is made in the bill for transitional measures to absorb these costs, people will continue to have some concerns, even long after the bill has been passed and the regulatory framework is in place.
