I spoke with Mr. Calkins prior to the bill being tabled because I felt this was a road being considered. I pointed out to him that it was important to companies in the federal jurisdiction that we have proper pre-legislative consultation. I had no discussions with Mr. Calkins about the substance of his bill and I've made my comments with respect to how I view appropriate amendments to the substance of his bill.
