Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, this has been a protected process that has taken time with the legislation and the regulations in getting geared up. The question is when. There was tremendous criticism that we were dragging our feet and weren't doing anything. We had legislation and we were just sitting around not doing anything. As Minister, when I took over this portfolio, I indicated that I would like to move on this. Initially, I wanted October 1st. We moved it to November 1st. They told me that it wasn't going to be perfect. It was clear that we would have to really do some work. At this point, I think it is best that we move on this, and we will make sure that it does get set up. It has been almost three years since that legislation was passed. It is overdue. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
