Thank you.

I have one final comment. Mr. Casey and others have raised the point, and you talked about it earlier, that there was a letter that was received from 220 or so lawyers who take a different view.

I am a lawyer who agrees with you. I was a member of a law firm with over 900 lawyers. I practised in the city of Toronto, where there are over 14,000 lawyers, so 200 doesn't seem like that big of a number to me. I think we could find an equal number who support our view.

Thank you.
