Thank you very much, Chair.
Thank you, Monsieur Mayrand, for appearing here today.
I want to make sure we're perfectly clear here. You said that you and your officials would be prepared to begin implementation in early February 2012. Clearly there is a lot of work. The objective of our government is to try to have these changes in force prior to the 2015 election. While some may suggest that three and a half years away is plenty of time, I think you've laid out fairly effectively the amount of work your office will have.
If I'm hearing you correctly, you're saying you can get this done but you need the bill to be in your hands to begin work no later than early February. Is that a correct assessment?
