Okay.

Thank you very much for being here today.

I can say—and the proponent of this bill knows this—that I'm quite supportive of the bill. I think it's a very reasonable measure. Our side supports it as well.

There will be a couple of questions from me. Then, if there's time remaining, I'll pass it to Mr. Long.

First of all, how does this bill compare with those in other G7 countries—or other democracies, if we want to be more broad—regarding this move towards the two-year threshold? Where are other comparable countries on an issue like this?
