I, too, want to express my thanks for your being here today. I hope you take my comments in the same light as I do your candour today. I appreciate your candour, I really do, because my background is that of a small business person. I've run my own businesses through the course of my life.
I want to understand more about why you will not prioritize. I don't want to beat this to death, but I would like to know the rationale for why you choose not to prioritize, because ultimately our committee will have to prioritize, in my mind.
The next steps are, first, the study, which identified the gaps, and then beyond that, we will take next steps to recommend what we can tackle. There will probably be some low-hanging fruit that might be the first things that would make sense, but certainly we will have to prioritize at some point.
I would reflect back to the fact that this is called a living charter, which was identified long before my time here, and it does reflect the realization that nothing is static and that in fact new gaps will emerge, right? In other words, there will always be gaps. It reflects that realization. When gaps are identified in anyone's life, anyone's business, or anyone's state of affairs, you determine what the priorities are, and, if there are multiple gaps, what you're going to tackle first, second, third, and so forth. So I'd like to ask you to please help me understand the rationale for why you choose not to prioritize.
