I don't know if this is the final point or not, but we have a full consultation process put in place now, as Ms. MacKenzie pointed out. Adopting this amendment would require that each regulation put forward would go through a process in which it would have to go to the House, and it would come back to the committee, and then it would go back for concurrence to the House or wait 30 days, and then it would go through the regular process we have now. We're talking even about the hiring of employees of the tribunal. I just find that unnecessary. We've got a good process in place that seems to be working, and I would ask members to oppose the amendment.
