Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, the fundamental difference between the old legislation and the new legislation is to make it readable; make it so that people can understand exactly what the intent of the legislation was, because the old legislation was all over the place. I think now, by bringing forward legislation, by redrafting the whole act so that it's a totally different layout than what we've seen before, would give us that improvement that we're hoping to bring forward with that legislation, but also clearly spelling out especially the roles and responsibilities of the different departments. More importantly, it's simple, clear language so that people reading it can really understand what it says; not legal mumbo jumbo. I think, in most cases, that's what you find with a lot of this legislation. It's trying to simplify legislation, make it clear so that anyone reading it can understand. If anything, that's probably the most important improvement we'll see coming forward with this new legislation. Thank you.
