I have a comment. I do not want to take anything away from Ms. Davidson and I know her abilities. We have known her for several years and we know she is a very credible and competent lady. But I would pick up on what my colleague, Mr. Scott, said. Even if Mr. Kingsley believes she will succeed him--he may as well dream in technicolor and believe he will win 10 million dollars in the lottery--it is the House of Commons that will decide who his replacement will be. Mr. Kingsley and Ms. Davidson are listening and I do not want to minimize Ms. Davidson's abilities. On the contrary, she is extremely competent.
