Thank you for that question.
As with any change of this magnitude, I think there were ample consultations and dialogue that helped inform the path forward. The Ontario Financial Review Commission first made recommendations to that effect and that, in and of itself, was a body that engaged in extensive consultations processes.
Ontario is also somewhat unique in Canada in that it has a dedicated estimates committee of the legislature, a standing committee on estimates. All that committee does is review estimates, so there are dedicated parliamentarian committee members whose mandate is devoted to reviewing estimates. As a result, there was a body of legislators who were available for consultation and ongoing dialogue over that process.
That dialogue took many forms. It took place with legislators, with the government, with the public, and some of that was reported through public documents, such as budgets and the public accounts. That was important in the context of getting Ontario ready, getting both the producers and the users of the information prepared for the changes that were coming.
I would, of course, be remiss if I didn't mention in that consultation process the provincial auditor, the Auditor General's Office. They played an important role in this journey as well in terms of ongoing dialogue whenever it comes to any kind of accounting or reporting change that is implemented in the province. They played an important role in that, and that's very important from the perspective of legislators, because legislators have a right and an ability to hear not only from government representatives but also from independent officers of the legislature.
