Mr. Chair, I have just a couple of questions, again to Mr. Julian.
We had numerous witnesses here, and I don't believe I missed any meetings at which witnesses appeared. Is there something the witnesses said that would have driven you to propose this amendment? I didn't hear it. Quite aside from the arbitrary nature of the 10,000 number, I didn't hear any of the witnesses raise the concern that you've raised.
Secondly, one of the purposes of revisiting this legislation is to simplify and presumably also to reduce the cost burden, not only for industry, but also for government. If you could answer that, I'd also appreciate a follow-up from staff as to whether they would expect this would drive up costs for government, because we're introducing a whole new element of supervision and monitoring here. I'm concerned it's going to be counterproductive to what we're actually trying to do with this bill.
