Professor Hart stated that there is some confusion between the two types of consultations. Personally, I do not believe that we are confusing them. The government tells us not to be concerned, that these are just minor technical consultations, and so on. But we want the politicians to engage in debate in the House of Commons about the reasons for moving ahead with this and whether or not we should move ahead, well before there are any more technical discussions about how to go about it.
The process is completely reversed. Our suggestion is to stop the process and begin all over again, by asking the real questions in the House of Commons, for example, rather than in the Chamber of Commerce.
