Thank you very much.
Thank you to all of our witnesses who are here today speaking about this important piece of legislation. I was particularly interested to hear that there seems to be, sort of, agreement among all parties—even though you represent a broad range of organizations—that the thrust of the legislation is the correct one and that it does resolve a problem we all know, which can be corruption in other countries with how Canadian companies are involved with them when they're trying to do business there.
We're talking about some of the finer points of what you may or may not like to see, and I was interested in all of the suggestions that came forward. I wanted to talk to Ben Brunnen for a moment, to start.
I was interested in some of the things that we think may be solved by this piece of legislation and the difficulties for Canadian companies, which are very highly regarded in doing business in other countries, as a rule. But what do you think is the main thrust of what this kind of legislation would solve for them? Are they put in ethical dilemmas that this would help to make clearer?
