Through the chair again, no, I do not look at anything as a roadblock. I've been with this for a long time, so there have been all kinds of suggestions by all kinds of experts and pundits and people, and we're seeing them again as I go public with some of the discussions with the premiers.
I think it comes down to what I said. I think we should explore democracy in the Senate, and then it will take five to eight years to have a majority of senators who are elected, with vacancies occurring naturally as senators reach the age of 75. We have, as I said, 15 as of yesterday. We'll have 17 by the end of this year, and we will have 29 by the end of 2009. If we have elections to fill all of those vacancies, it will take five to eight years before you have a majority. That's five to eight years to find out whether people like me are even worthy of being in the Senate, whether we're better in any way than anyone else.
I don't want to infer again that there's anything wrong with the individuals in the Senate. There are some sterling people there. There is Dr. Keon, who's just been put in the Medical Hall of Fame and cares more than anybody I've met about young Canadians, poverty, and children, and this kind of thing. I serve on his committee, and I'm absolutely overwhelmed by his intellect and his commitment. I won't go on to try to name a whole lot of senators from there, because I'll end up leaving somebody behind. I just isolated him because he's recently been put in the hall of fame.
