Thank you very much to everyone for their presentations. As my colleague said, they were helpful and provided us with a unique perspective.

I had a question for perhaps anyone on the panel who wants to answer it. Within the proposed bill that's being put forward there is a clause that states that companies would be fined up to $1,000 per day if they were in violation of the rules. What type of impact do you think that would have, and do you think it would have an impact at all on the businesses that have to pay the $1,000 a day?
