I'd like to go on to something else that was said that was troublesome. In that same meeting, I asked about the financial viability and whether a comparable financial viability study of a regulatory board was done to see what it will cost the taxpayer. The acting director general for immigration answered that no study had been done. It was the same thing when I asked the associate assistant deputy minister whether these numbers had been looked at. Her answer was, “The answer is no”.
We just heard from the Canadian Bar Association. In your statement, you said you tremendously respect their professionalism, their well-developed expertise—your words—and their professional education in this area, yet we heard from their representative that he personally is skeptical and the vast majority of their membership is extremely skeptical.
How do you respond to that?
