I prefer to have a bird in the hand rather than two in the bush, so I think it's important for us to reiterate the fact that a decision every ten years on the national capital region ought to be debated in the House of Commons and in the Senate of Canada in order to get a sense of what the master plan would be. I don't think it's all that onerous to turn around and say yes, we accept that, in this. There's no need for it to go into another amendment. I think this is the one that we should support.
