Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Just before we move on to detail as I see there do not appear to be any more general comments, I would like to first say that after the potential passage of this bill there will be an amount of time, probably a considerable amount of time, required to set up the pieces that we need in order to have the bodies and the offices to carry out this legislation. There has to be some reasonable expectation that we will take the due time to do that, and I guess I felt it was something that was important enough to speak to. I have had a number of questions about when this would come into effect.
The other thing I would like to say, Mr. Chairman, is that I would like to thank the committee members, Mr. Braden, Mr. Dent, Mr. Lafferty and Mrs. Groenewegen, who all put in considerable numbers of hours going through material, research material from other jurisdictions and much other information that we had to consider, along with the large number of submissions that we had to go through and debate. They have all put in a lot of long hours and a lot of hard work on this, and I thank them for that, Mr. Chairman. Also as well I would like to thank our staff, Ms. Peterson and Ms. Kelly Ann Fenney -- especially Ms. Fenney who spent many many hours doing the research that we required in order for us to be prepared and to put the thought required into this. I want to thank those two.
