Let me go to Michael for a moment.
First of all, Michael, I want to thank you. Back in the spring, when our committee was considering this budget process, you were kind enough to submit a paper called “Budget-Making: From Public Consultation to Citizen Deliberation”. That was circulated to our committee and it was part of our discussions.
As you can see, we probably haven't really reflected a lot of your ideas. It's hard to change this process because we are sort of constricted in terms of time, in terms of money, and I think in terms of ideas.
I'm just wondering, now that you've sat through a bit of it.... First of all, I'd like you to submit again, for this coming year, if you would. Secondly, based on what we have to do in a certain period of time, what could we do to change this process to make it more democratic?
