Thank you very much, Mr. Schwartz.
You have no reason at all to apologize for not answering in French. Three years ago, I would not have been able to ask you a single question in English. Thank you for your thoughtfulness.
You talked about the uncertainty facing people in the industry who, because of the amendments, must wait until the regulations come into force . That is a very important factor, which can actually have a significant impact on the development of projects. It also has to do with the potential financial impacts.
Would you have instead preferred to see the government retain less regulatory power to make the legislation more specific or to at least ensure that the legislation more directly deals with industrial designs and patents?
