I will say again, and this is not a personal criticism, that I find that the main thing the witnesses are telling us today is to hold off on this because an economic impact assessment is coming. However, they did not bring the terms of reference with them. They are not able to detail them. That is not all that satisfactory for us because they are asking us to hold off on proceeding with the Bill we have before us based on an economic impact assessment, but they are not able to tell us precisely what the economic impact assessment will look at.
