Ms Joanna Joyce:
Yes, but first we hope to find out about the legal issue. We have received no formal notification of what it is. We hope for the committee's assistance on this point. We would like to be part of the conversation on how to resolve the issue. We hope legislative change is not necessary and perhaps there is a practical solution to the problem. Until we know exactly what the issue is, we cannot address that. We hope for the committee's assistance in finding a workable solution.
