Absolutely, but I suppose one could look at it either way. In one way, one can ask why then have it in there at all? Information is power and it absolutely could be used in a discrimination case or whatever, which is fine. It is a different thing, however, to be the subject of action based on the law and on this piece of law and the pursuit of it. I am curious about that.

The onus is on all of us to get moving on this quite quickly and that is why we have the hearings. It is interesting to hear the toing and froing even among the panel, so it is very useful for us that the witnesses came in.
