No, Mr. St-Cyr, we are a professional organization and we, as members, equally shoulder the costs of running the regulator. The cost of producing, preparing for, and putting that conference on was borne equally by each and every member. That is a philosophy at the core of our mission and vision values, and it's one that, if you are a professional member of our order, you have a responsibility to. So if fees are due and payable to support the society, everyone is exposed to them, whether they are in attendance or not.
