Again, we're delving more into the secrecy. I don't know what we've discovered here yet. There's nothing in this bill yet that I've had a proper answer to. I don't even know what we're reviewing at this moment, because everything has been done at the whim of a minister. It is a very dangerous transfer of power from the parliament to an executive that has no obligation at all under this piece of obligation to let the public know what is going on. Is there any requirement in the bill for the minister to give reasons for a termination decision?
