I'm happy to start off. Maybe I'll start with your second question first.
As we're all aware, this is a practice that is going on currently. Incorporation by reference is a tool that is being used by many departments. A dynamic or ambulatory reference is being used, and—I speak on behalf of my organization and my members—so far it works fine. The sky has not fallen, and we have not had major issues, and frankly, incorporation by reference has solved a lot of problems that we have had in the past.
This being a very broad and perhaps new authority for many departments, without the oversight that we're all, I think, suggesting in some shape or form, it could be problematic.
Inconsistency is one thing that drives industry crazy. Inconsistency in how governments apply things that are the same in different ways drives us crazy. Without the oversight and without the guidance from Treasury Board, we're going to run into the sort of situation sooner rather than later in which departments are picking and choosing how they do incorporation by reference.
It's very important that we have that oversight before these authorities are being used widely, especially within departments that have not had the experience using them that some of the departments we deal with have had and have so far done quite well with.
