On that same point of order, I don't want to belabour the point, but it did come up at a previous meeting, this whole business about whether it was the committee's sense that we should have a bill and move as expeditiously as possible. Certainly this was the agreement we had, including an agreement from the NDP at that time, that all of us recognized there were problems with our present system, and given the present situation of a minority Parliament, we wanted to move quite quickly. So the government was responding to that. We said, and all of us agreed at the time, that while we want to move quickly, and try to ensure that changes do happen before the next federal election, we certainly want to ensure also that we do the work as accurately as possible.
