Senator Lankford, you have done an extraordinary job of negotiating what I think is going to be a successful compromise that is going to get support from Republicans and Democrats. But as you were going through this work, in the years that you spent studying this issue as a ranking member and chair in a committee of jurisdiction, I have got to believe you have looked at, let's say, Canada, for example. There are a lot of people who think that Senator Lankford and those of us who are trying to support Senator Lankford are being draconian and being out of step with the Western World. But, Senator Lankford, could you just briefly describe how what we are trying do compares to, say, our partner to the north, Canada, their laws?
