Thank you very much, Mr. Chair.
Thank you to our witnesses for being here today. I appreciate your testimony.
Ms. Dodd, I appreciated very much your personal story, the very helpful journey you've had on this, and sharing that with the committee, .
When you look at it from that perspective, you said some of these things take a long time to change for various reasons. We talk about governments, and then back and forth between the provinces and the feds on this. We've been 10 or more years in the making of this one. We've already had the mirror legislation passed in the two legislatures in the provinces.
I'll start with Ms. Payne.
In spite of the comments with respect to the overall regulator, and I'll get to that in a moment, do you see any reason that we shouldn't move forward with passing this legislation now rather than creating another football going back and forth?
