I don't know what the definition of consultations is, but would it be fair to say that you have a fairly good idea of each province's position on Senate reform? If that is an accurate statement, would it then be fair to say that the majority, if not all, of the provincial positions would be that there needs to be something other than the status quo, which would then allow this committee to go forward in that spirit, looking for alternatives to the status quo?
