My predecessor did an evaluation in 2007. I think that among the findings was that it was an important tool to enable Canadians to get a response directly from federal ministers. It was not a tool or process that was well known. It remains, in my view, not well known, but it's an important part of democratic accountability.
In addition, if I may say something related to what Mr. Miller said, for me the numbers aren't as important as the fact that each one of these petitions represents a commitment of a Canadian resident to go through, understand, research, and post questions directly related to federal responsibilities. We provided a guide to help them in that. So each one of these, in its own right, we view with great seriousness.
