Thank you.

In the legislation there's some language that I struggle with, and I'm going to be quick because I think I'm running out of time.

There's some language in the purpose that talks about the purpose of this bill is to “advance efforts for reconciliation”. I'm an accountant. I'm all about measurable outcomes and numbers and data and that kind of thing. Can you give me any indication of whether there have been discussions at all in this journey of four and a half years about how we would measure the success of advancing efforts for reconciliation?
