I welcome the witnesses. I have met some of them over the past number of years and I welcome the interactions I have had. In the past couple of days, a number of colleagues touched on this earlier, this proposed emergency legislation has emerged. I know that nobody in this room has had sight of it but my question is, does Mr. Kearney welcome it? Albeit we are in the dark, the timelines being spoken of in the media seem to centre around six to eight weeks, or eight to ten weeks, to prepare for those classes. Does he think, if true, that timeline is sufficient?
