Thank you, Madam Chair. I'm not going to make any substantive comments on the bill itself. I believe the report does that and, you know, it was my job as chair to try and navigate the multiple submissions we got. I just, for the record and for the public, want to explain the process we are in.

We are currently reviewing the committee report which has recommendations. Each of those will be voted on. The report itself is not the bill. In order for this bill to pass, there are still a number of steps that would need to occur. One, it would need to be called in Committee of the Whole, a clause by clause with the Minister and witnesses in the chair, would have to occur; each clause would have to be approved; then it would have to get out of Committee of the Whole and past third reading. And so I just think it's important for the public to understand how our processes work. We're all used to them by now but they're rather confusing, and they're long to make sure there is multiple debates awarded to all Members. Thank you, Madam Chair.
