Mr. Head, I understand that. But given that we have a bill and that this bill was going through the House, and I think your office knew this was coming, I think it would be necessary for us to know and for the government to know and for you to know, really, if there are consequences or problems. And then we need to know that information. I'm surprised that you wouldn't have started that process. I'm just saying that because I think it's important.
We have all asked the same question, and I don't see why we still don't have any answers. And while I think everyone in this room is.... I can't speak for everybody, but there is strong support for the bill. Certainly I want to make sure there aren't unintended consequences for some of those prisoners' families, and there are families and children who are dependent. That's all.
I'll move on, but I think it's important. And maybe, Madam Chair, you might want to give time for the department or the commissioner's office to do the work, but I think this committee should know. At some point I would like to know if my actions are also hurting children or someone else somewhere and how we mitigate that.
I'll move on.
