I have been concerned with the so-called decline of Parliament over the years. I think in part the decline involves the parties gaining more power over the parliamentarians. As we go on, I would like to see more focus on Parliament as representatives of members of constituencies, and my thinking has worked in that direction.
The other problem, which I believe has more or less been solved, is that members stay in Parliament a lot longer now than they did 20 years ago. I think we have a much more experienced cadre of politicians in Parliament, which I consider to be a very good thing.
I just leave it at general comments there. I was concerned with the bill itself because it needs to be looked at in a lot of detail and I was not able to do it; it's a very complex topic in a very complex environment.
