In your exchange with Mr. Fraser, on the issue of whether there was a reasonable chance of success, I think you rejected that as a category and think it needs to be beyond frivolous and vexatious, and over that standard. Isn't that likely to lead to pet projects, no matter who has to make the first cut? In terms of limited government resources to fund anything, if we had a program, which I know isn't your view, to not consult widely in order to see what people with expertise in an area think, doesn't that leave it to the whim of a particular individual to decide thumbs up or thumbs down, based on what?
