Thank you, Mr. Chair. We are not anticipating any additional barrier. We do expect the transcript fees to operate under this new model just as they do now. I think the one difference we will be tracking will be, and the Minister mentioned this, in addition to generating transcripts, there will be a transcript coordinator who will be responsible for generating those from the audio recordings, but there will also be an option for interested persons to secure a copy of the audio recordings. It actually might make it easier for folks, and spare them the cost of transcript generation if they are able to instead just satisfy themselves with an audio recording. For some purposes, they may still require a transcript, but that isn't a change from the way it works now. Moving forward, we will certainly monitor the utilization of both transcripts and the provision of recordings. We might anticipate less demand for people to pay for the transcript services. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
