I think its value is the attempt to bring together the range of groups. That's the way the commission was formulated, that it should do partnership, that it should engage Canadians in defining the agenda, and that it should bring these forward in a report to Parliament and say that at this point in time, here is the range of views in Canada. And the report would say this is one possibility and these are the dangers of going this way—because their mandate is to evaluate the consequences of going one way or the other. The five commissioners are appointed by orders in council, and having read or done the consultations, they consider what is the best policy option at the current point. Certainly the government can decide yes, no, or in five years or in ten years. The point is to join in.
I think it's fabulous that there are groups throughout Canada, and we know this. In fact we supported them, supported their exchanges in bringing them together.
