Yes, the bill is really aimed at making it clear, both within the federal government and to those that react with the federal government, how the federal government is structured and how it operates. But that level of certainty, as I think many people said in their opening remarks, is extremely important. Whether we're dealing with other provincial governments, whether it's with the municipalities, whether it's with non-governmental agencies, or whether it's with other countries like the United States, these days when things happen and they're big, you need a consistent approach and a road map. That's really what this does. It sets the road map, it says how it's going to work, and it says how decision-making will take place in a coordinated fashion.
