I just have to say I accept the power of that comment. I guess the question is whether one tries to move ahead with what's on the table right now or steps way back, because I do believe, yes, that in the whole question of improving democracy in Canada we need much more public deliberation. And even though their proposals did not get accepted, I thought the citizens' assemblies in B.C. and Alberta were a model that actually might work in an area just like this.
So I accept the contradiction in my own thinking here.
