This is in response to Mr. Cannis' comment.

John made a really valid point. We all work really hard, spend hours preparing, and then a chosen few, and sometimes even substitutes, go in and ask all the questions. I would ask, if it's agreed that we go ahead, that we consider going to maybe four-hour meetings, and not necessarily just during our allotted time. We don't want to be here until 7:30 at night. But we could arrange it in such a way that there is some continuity.

I'd like you to bring all those ideas to the next meeting.

At the next meeting we'll finish off the report, and then we'll deal with this motion.

The meeting is adjourned.
