It's good to be back, and I mean that sincerely.
Just on some of the notes you mentioned, first of all I want to start with Mr. Carroll. I totally agree with your quote from the person from Yorkton, Saskatchewan, who said that they're tired of representatives with their talking notes. Obviously, I do feel that if you're being paid a minimum wage of $160,000 a year and you can't talk from your own, then you're grossly overpaid—and I mean grossly overpaid. There you go. I vented my spleen, for the most part.
Let me go to what was said by Mr. Franks. You said that the central party organizations should certify the local constituency organization. If I might understand this, then, you're saying that the local constituency association should reign supreme when it comes to the selection of the candidate.
Mr. Milliken, I'd like to hear your thoughts on this too.
There was an example that's been used a lot. It happened back in the 1970s. It may have been used here before in testimony. I won't even name the parties or names, but the leader of a party was faced with a candidate who did not believe in official bilingualism and therefore was expelled from the party. That person's nomination was thrown out despite the fact that the local constituency voted that person in. What do you do in a situation like that?
