There's one thing I want to be clear on. We've had a lot of discussions at least at the committee level about some of the unpaid existing debt by former Liberal leadership contestants from the 2006 leadership campaign. This bill wouldn't be retroactive in any sense would it? Would any loans that were taken out, say, in the 2006 campaign that are still outstanding be guided by the old rules? These provisions would come into effect when royal assent is given, is that correct?
