Thank you, Mr. Chair.

I apologize, Mr. Battiste. I know you're eager, but I just have a couple of questions on this, along the same lines as Mrs. Atwin's.

The first is actually about the word “adjacent” in there. I know we had a discussion at length, Mr. Chair, about adjacency, and it was removed in previous clauses of the bill.

Would reintroducing adjacency in this instance cause any inconsistencies or any complications in the legislation?
