Just very briefly, I believe that under the order of reference that the committee has, it's possible for the committee to separate, perhaps, the principles--many of which we're talking about in terms of access, in terms of how we look at our democracy, how we build our democracy--from, in some ways, the details of the current design of the court challenges program. We are more than 15 years into life with our charter. There's often no harm in taking another look. I don't know whether Pandora was a radical lesbian feminist, and I don't want to open a Pandora's box, but it seems to me that it behooves us to look at the principles that this is intending to achieve. If we have better ways of doing it, if we've learned some things along the way, that's a good thing, and I would urge the committee to do that.
