We are here to help you. Without that information, the only thing I can look at is the numbers from the last election and the analyses that can be done, which I want to avoid. When I look at the overall pictures, I want to see something other than analyses.
You tabled the objection documents. The committee noted that the witnesses sometimes had differences of opinion or different views. Consultation could change that.

Mr. Miller, the commission did its work and is prepared to negotiate on certain things. What can we do to help the commission take into account your proposals and act on them?
