Thank you.
This committee has heard stories of big swindlers, of big fish, and criticisms that this bill does not do enough to enable the government to go after them.
My approach or my emphasis is very different. I'm concerned about some small fish: small fish who are actually honest, well-informed, and transparent, but who do this work on a small-scale basis, on a part-time basis, and charge modest fees, partly because they're motivated in part by charitable considerations.
For them to go through the certification process, to take all the training, pay the membership fees, and go through all the professional development requirements, would simply put them out of business. They wouldn't do it anymore.
So this is a very different issue that I'm bringing forward and I appreciate that the committee is willing to also listen to these concerns. I did bring a document. I'm sorry that I couldn't bring it out earlier. I was invited to make this presentation on Friday, so I finished writing it only today. I brought some copies to the clerk. I don't know if all of you have received it or not.
