Thank you to the folks for being here.
I guess we'll start with you, Mr. Atkinson.
What we mentioned to the previous panel probably bears repeating, that my colleagues' standpoint on this review isn't necessarily to roll back everything that was done before; we don't want to throw out the baby with the bathwater. We have heard that there are some definite benefits resulting from the changes. What was missing from the previous process, in our view.... The way this was brought in, in the middle of a very large omnibus bill, involved very little consultation with proponents and opponents of the idea, so the purpose of this is basically a fair process, in order to give people a chance to tell us what they think and to get everything on the table so that we can go forward not just based on what we perceive to have happened—because the public communication that we heard after this was brought in tends to be quite different from the actual one that we've heard since having a chance to hear from people like you.
Mr. Atkinson, to what extent would you say the construction standards that your members follow remain influenced by the previous legislation?
