Mr. Rankin, I don't regard that as an easy question to answer. I can see the point. One of the problems with directing a reference before there has been any real experience with the law is that it comes to the court as a rather abstract question. It might be better—and I'm not dismissing the idea of a reference at all—to wait and see, gain some experience with the law, some experience that might lead to changes in the law. The concern is that you go to a court, which is not going to be very well informed about the problem to start with, and you don't have very much experience to bring to it.
