Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In the summer of 1995, a consultation draft of the bill was circulated or made available to the public, tabled in the Assembly and specifically distributed to those who work most frequently with this bill, the accounting profession, the legal profession, the business community, business Chamber of Commerce. And comments..very few comments were received back, but of those comments that were received, they were then considered and most of them incorporated into the final bill. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
