Thank you, Mr. Chair, and my thanks to the delegations for being here today.
It is interesting that one of the positions the government and the minister could take at the end of the day is to do nothing. This is just a statutory review. There have been no proposed amendments to the legislation. No regulatory changes have been made. There are some court challenges right now to a couple of cases.
Mr. Swartz, what happens in your field, or just as a general thing, if nothing changes and we continue the status quo, aside from maybe court interventions? What are the pros and cons of those situations? This is one of the potential outcomes of all of this work. Even if there is an intent to make some changes, our time frame in Parliament is starting to become constrained, although we don't have an election directly looming. It takes time to do this review. Ministers will evaluate that review and then submit legislation. So if it's outside the regulatory framework.... That they has to pass in the House of Commons and the Senate prior to the next election.
