I have no objection to the amendment, but I do feel compelled in the interest of full disclosure to make sure committee members know that the minister did consult with me. I was asked to submit a letter. I was asked on December 23 to have a response in by January 4. I don't know if the Green Party was the only party asked to do that, but we submitted a letter. Then I had a lengthy and interesting phone call with the minister, and I made many points, none of which is reflected in the bill.
Thank you.
