I hesitate to take a position on exactly what we should do. The fact is that we need regulation with government powers. That's the problem. At home, we've just created a regulatory system for paralegals, within the Law Society of Upper Canada. The model is somewhat different in Quebec, where they have the Office des professions du Québec and other organizations, as you said. The fact is that, in order to have the full range of regulatory powers, you have to have government powers in a statute, not in a private society.
