The problem we have is the problem we've had from the very beginning of the whole consultation process, which is that this bill applies to the widest possible range of organizations.
You ran into one issue today where you had the CICA and the CGA with diametrically opposed viewpoints on a particular issue. There were differences of opinion on how directors' liability should be handled between Imagine Canada and the Canadian Bar Association. There were also differences between whether soliciting and non-soliciting should be eliminated. The Canadian Bar Association said it was absolutely essential that those distinctions be made.
Since the beginning of this whole process, years and years ago—when I was much younger—we've constantly being trying to get that balance, to try to carve out a statute that does the best possible job for the widest range of corporations. It's really difficult at times to square that circle, to make it so that everybody is happy with the legislation. It's part of the reason we can't necessarily say, yes, we'll make the change because group A advocated it. I say this because group B, who may have appeared before the committee earlier or may not even have been invited, would not like it.
We heard all of those things through the consultations. It's a difficult process.
