Thank you to all the witnesses.
Mr. Sullivan, your comments resonated particularly with me, in that I share your view that the bill is as good as far as it goes, but that it has been oversold. I share your concern as well that because of the dual responsibilities and roles between the provinces and the feds, the real measure of its effectiveness is going to be in the resources that are allocated probably at the provincial level to give these rights some teeth, these rights to information and the right to complain.
Can you give us some sense...? You were quite clear in your testimony that you don't think much is going to change, but that if you're wrong, we're looking at a big bill. I should also point out that three of the five witnesses referenced the role of the provinces here, so this is something that I think we're going to be grappling with as we go through this study. I want to deal with that awful hypothetical that maybe you're wrong, and that there is going to be some significant role in terms of providing resources to give teeth to the complaint provisions and the information provisions. Can you give us a sense of what the resources would look like, what the financial commitment would need to be, on a practical level?
I have one last thing before you answer that. You said that you hoped we would hear from provincial attorneys general. We've invited them; they're not exactly jumping at the opportunity to take your seat. If you have any sway, we do want to hear from them, and we have invited them.
