The cost of the bill is important to us. That's why we're making an amendment, because we think there need to be some reforms on EI, but I would have liked to have had the costing prior to immediately going into clause-by-clause. I think it would be helpful. I don't know what the protocol is. I'm not blaming anybody for that, but it would have been helpful in the consideration of the bill to have had that costing in advance so we could have considered that as part of our amendment process.
