Would it be possible for the Department to share a summary of those concerns with the committee at some point? It would be helpful to us. We are a long way out from this and we have a lot of time, but it would be helpful for us to understand the concerns of the stakeholders, with whom we engage as a committee anyway. That would be helpful.

Finally, just to finish, there is the issue of the concerns of the Minister, as well as his engagement with the Commission on the legislation. Is the Department in a position, although maybe not today, to share those concerns? Again, that would give us a greater understanding. Sometimes it is comforting to know that we are on the same sheet as the Minister. It would be helpful to know the Minister’s official line on that. The Department might share some of that. It might need to touch base with the Minister's office. Yet, it would be helpful if we could understand those concerns, because then the loop would be complete. We would then fully understand the challenges, tasks and concerns.
