I think it does. I mean, these are after all recommendations. As you can see from the government's response, they were very carefully considered. The main recommendation of the commission was accepted by the government and a number of other recommendations have been accepted. In my opening remarks I indicated some of the anomalies that appear—for instance, with respect to senior judges in the territories, or a gap in terms of the head of the Family Court division in Ontario, and some changes with respect to pensions. It seems to me that for the most part the government has accepted the recommendations. But again, they are recommendations, and the responsibility, according to the Constitution, lies with the government.
