I thank our witnesses and thank them for their evidence today. I have questions for specific witnesses as opposed to getting a response from everyone, so I will put the questions specifically to the witnesses.

I will start with the representatives from the ICGP to make the best use of my seven minutes, given that our time is limited. I accept Dr. Collins is saying that the ICGP's research shows, not just anecdotally, but from opinion polls, that there are very mixed opinions on either side of this debate among the ICGP members and that a majority - or a significant number of its members - are somewhere in the middle and are trying to figure out what the best way is to approach this issue. I imagine that is indicative of society more generally. I will ask a very straight question. Does the ICGP think it will be very difficult to legislate in this space?
