I do not want to discuss the underlying issue, but it seems to me that... Ms. Fraser was courteous enough to come to the committee to tell us her decision. I do not think we should turn on the cameras, as my colleague, Mr. McGuinty, suggests. I think we should take note of her decision and allow her to make her public announcement as she sees fit. However, we could ask Ms. Fraser to come back to the committee, not on February 15th but tomorrow, to explain this decision. In that way, Ms. Fraser could make her announcement this afternoon. I do not know what I have on my schedule or what committee meetings are planned, but we could ask Ms. Fraser to come back tomorrow to explain her position. We can have a broader discussion of this matter at that time. I do not know what you think about this, but I think that that would strike a balance between what Ms. Fraser is suggesting and the open discussion we want to have, not in three weeks, but rather as quickly as possible.
