Mr. Speaker, I did say at the beginning that I wanted a debate and that even though I have a position of my own and we have a position as a caucus, we certainly will be listening to what other people have to say. We realize that today is not the last word in this debate, so in keeping with the spirit of the advice offered by the hon. member, we will listen with an open but nevertheless skeptical mind to those who think that this is a good idea.
