The record of the AMC process indicates that notwithstanding other Canadian jurisdictions, we wanted to identify a process that would lean towards self-determining efforts to election reform. I think that the record speaks for itself in many respects. I can say that the legislation that landed on our desk was not pre-empted with a warning or any type of comment that they were going to roll up our recommendations and try to give them to the rest of Canada. That was never part of our discussion, as far as I know.
