I think it's important to add, Mr. Carrier, if I may--
I thank you very much for your question
—that we're here as a regulator. We're talking about consumer protection and the issue of the people who will be in the fore-log and the backlog unless the Government of Canada puts in a management system that is efficient.
We look at what the minister has brought forward as being a reasonable compromise, as a public regulator.
I just want to point out that as a regulator, we treat our members with absolute respect and due process, and aren't engaging in, as your colleague has alluded to, retribution and retaliation. I just want to assure the committee of that.
