I appreciate Mr. Reidy's input. He made some valid points on the overall situation, many of which I made at the time of separation. Unfortunately, that time has passed so we must do everything that we can to make the current situation a success.

He raised issues about heads 18 and 22 and Shannon Heritage, which I identified. We might want to see those issues fleshed out in legislation. A specific reference must be made to Shannon Heritage. As the delegation knows, the superannuation scheme is a particularly difficult matter.

When preparing legislation, it is helpful for us to know the witnesses' views in advance. We will try to incorporate their comments in the legislation, as best as we can. I thank the delegations for their participation.
