It's an additional perspective, there's no question about that. There are more individuals now giving input to the Minister of Justice on the exercise of his or her constitutional discretion. For instance, we have representatives of the provincial attorneys general. We could have done it without having them formally part of the process, but I think it's a healthy part of the process to have provincial attorneys general because of their responsibility in the administration of justice in this country. So to designate an individual on that is a good idea, and I think it can work well.
