There is one thing I find interesting.
You mentioned that you chose not to make any representations to the commission and that you preferred to come meet with us.
You know what powers this committee has. We can make recommendations, but they may not listen to everything we have to say.
I'm trying to understand. If I've understood correctly, 19 groups made representations against the commission's recommendation. Don't you think that, by adding your voice and with the support of your fellow citizens, that you might have been able to convince the commission to make a change?
