Definitely. GBA is a tool, but it is a tool within the confines of the practices of the government. In a democratic society, it is very refreshing, as you say, to have groups on the outside who can put pressure on different issues and from a much different perspective. It really is the combination of these different sources of information that can help Parliament, the cabinet, take a decision and develop the policies they wish to develop. But certainly it's something we welcome.
