Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It's not that the department doesn't have legal opinions over the last 35 years; however, I just won't be putting forward legal opinions that are subject to solicitor-client privilege here on the floor of the House. Mr. Speaker, certainly happy to sit down and engage further about the various risks that go into determining policy. I'm not going to speak to what Quebec may or may not do. And there is a significant difference in the application of, you know -- if where this was going was some suggestion around, you know, what kind of risk mitigation strategies one might go into, and you are concerned about having an unconstitutional policy, Mr. Speaker, there's, again -- the question was difficult, quite frankly, to follow. I'm not trying to cast dispersions. I'm just wanting to ensure that I'm not now told I'm not answering the question. We have legal opinions. Mobility rights are a live issue. It was quite clear based on the language within the former affirmative action policy that it would more likely than not be across the line of being against the Charter of Rights and Freedoms, Mr. Speaker. And I think I'll leave it there. And there's 11 minutes on the clock; I'm happy to take more questions. Thank you.
