Given that there hasn't been consultation or any sort of quantification on looking at different programming options or expanded programming options versus simply changing the age requirement, would the government be amenable to amending the bill, or perhaps delaying this change until that research has been done? By your own admission, this is a very important public policy option, granting that language is a unifier, that has not been done in the context of the bill. It sounds like a political decision rather than a quantifiable decision.
