Mr. Farrant, thank you kindly for your intelligent comments throughout this meeting. I think this is an issue that can be dealt with in a measured way. Despite what some have claimed, I don't think the legislation enacted in 2012 was all that detrimental. That is the conclusion I have come to after listening to all the witnesses who have appeared prior and spoken about the advantages the legislation affords them in their respective spheres of activity.
I will now turn the floor over to Mr. Berthold.
