If that's what they're worried about.... I don't know why they're worried, because no one wants to defeat the government at this point in time. But if we gave them that assurance, then the government wouldn't fall because the fisheries committee was travelling, if there were more of us away than of you.

Yes, even if it's in balance, that's all. No one said, Mr. Matthews, that this decision was based on reason.

No, I didn't think it was. If it was, it would be the first one in the ten years since I've been here.
