It hasn't been done before for the Department of Finance.
I'll tell you what the concern has been. In the appointment of panels, such as the Godsoe panel on international taxation and the Hockin panel on securities regulation, the department and I realized that we did not have the authority to pay anyone, except for their expenses.
And there are people one would want to do that kind of work for Canada and to give that kind of advice to Canada, who quite frankly can't afford to do so for no compensation. Some people can. I thank the Honourable Tom Hockin and Peter Godsoe for doing this for no compensation, but not all Canadians can afford to take this amount of time off.
