Yes, I would. When you have voluntary initiatives, what you end up with is companies adopting policies that look good on paper or developing industry associations that give them a bit of a fig leaf to make them look like they're doing something. There are individual companies that are very sincere in wanting to do the right thing and have taken some really strong steps, but then it creates an unlevel playing field where the companies that aren't interested or don't care do nothing, and it almost penalizes the companies that want to do the right thing, whereas if you have mandatory expectations that have been set through legislation, then everybody's on the same level playing field and has the same expectations. You can expect more transparency, better behaviours, better policies, better practices. I think we've been seeing that with the legislative initiatives we've seen so far.
