Thank you, Mr. Chairman. If I may, I would like an opportunity to respond to some of the comments. I think it's reciprocating to extend our gratitude to our staff, both from the Department of Justice and the standing committee to try to understand the intent of this piece of legislation.

Certainly I want to acknowledge the input of the stakeholders and I think if we look back at the standing committee report, the excerpts taken from the various presenters certainly indicates the drafting in this piece of legislation the importance the department has placed in understanding the value of those comments. In all due respect, with respect to yourself as chair, we have taken into consideration a number of comments that may lend credence to other departments as they build upon this piece of legislation and the importance of it. I just wanted to let the Members know that we have listened well and we have heard the public and the standing committee. On behalf of the Department of Justice I want to say we are very pleased to have worked with the standing committee and your officials. I just want to convey that to the standing committee through the chair. Thank you.
