Thank you, Mr. Speaker. That is the first time I have heard of that idea. I wonder if the honourable Member has considered other implications. It may well lead to other groups, for example youth or women, requesting guaranteed representation on hamlet councils. Having said that, Mr. Speaker, as a quick response to the Member's question, I will nonetheless be willing to consider the Member's suggestion.

I do believe that it might be appropriate to seek advice from bodies like the Association of Municipalities, with whom I expect to meet in the coming year, to see whether this is a concern they have about deficiencies in our municipal legislation. But the short answer to the Member's question, Mr. Speaker, is that I will be willing to consider it. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
