Chair, thank you very much.
Witnesses, I want to thank you all for being here. You are complementing very much the work this committee has already heard, as Mr. Myers suggested in his comments, with respect to our industry report. It was unanimous. I think we understand the issue. We get it.
We do have some who believe that the best approach, perhaps complementing the rather complex problems that seem to be confronting the working group, is—A witness here last week suggested that we would need further study of this issue, that we should have a committee issue a report, that the government should not proceed with any measures, and that we, in effect, should look at this all over again.
Mr. Frith, you may be able to bear this out, as a former member of this committee, and others. I've never seen a situation in my 14 years here when we've had two committees study the same issue at the same time and come up very much with the same conclusion.
Mr. Henderson, perhaps I'll go to you first. Could you give us an illustration of what this would mean if we were to in fact do this all over again—begin a report, begin a study? What does this do for Canada's international reputation, let alone for the problem of counterfeiting in Canada?
