Mr. Chair, member, I am satisfied. In fact, not-for-profit corporations can incorporate either federally or provincially; it's their choice. So the federal government's incorporation laws are a choice for not-for-profits. They can also choose whatever applicable provincial laws they might want to incorporate under, and as you know, many of them do. So there is no conflict. It of course draws on the best practices of a number of the not-for-profit laws in some of the other provinces. In particular, I think Saskatchewan was a bit of a template for this particular bill.
