It's all really interesting. To the three areas of concern that you highlighted initially—fire safety, free trade, winners versus losers—I would add maybe a fourth one that I might focus on a little bit over the course of the hearings. That would be how this change to section 7 of the act would fetter the minister's discretion and what tools would then be given to suppliers to bring law suits against the government under the procurement ombudsman or the other sections in contracting within the Department of Public Works and Government Services Act. It seems to me that this is quite a big stick. Where the government is already interested in using wood and is promoting soft ways to do it, it's doing it in a non-adversarial way. My concern is that the change that's being proposed would turn the use of wood from something that is being promoted into something that is being demanded. Can you speak to that a bit?
