Thank you.
Welcome to the witnesses.
First of all, Ms. Anson-Cartwright, our concern is not so much the fact of the new proposal as it is the apparent lack of consultation in developing the details of it. When new government regulations come into effect, before they are in effect there is a period of consultation and input from various experts, whereas in this case the ministerial instructions will be issued without prior consultation.
I think we saw problems here with the Canadian experience class when the rules were changed abruptly and many people were left in the lurch. There is always the possibility of improvement.
My question to you is this. Would it not be better for there to be some sort of draft of these ministerial instructions so that input could be provided by your members and others, rather than their just being announced all at once?
