Thank you very much, Madam Chair.
Thank you once again, Minister, for joining us and speaking to this piece of legislation.
I do have a number of questions, so I hope I'll be able to get through them in the six minutes I have.
Minister, when did you first get the idea to introduce this legislation? What precipitated this legislation needing to be introduced at this time? Would you be willing to submit any briefing notes from your department that would have perhaps recommended this move?
