Well, Mr. Speaker, I did not say that. The honourable Member asked me what I was going to do now, and I said one option would be to go ahead with the committee with the unionized nominee from a union that is willing to participate in the exercise. That is the UNW. That is one option, I said. The other option would be some other process for developing the bill which could take advantage of an independent person that had been identified to be chairman of this committee. So I am looking at two clear options, one which would be a consultative process involving workers in industry. Another would be more of a process of consulting stakeholders through an independent expert on mining safety, and I have not fastened on a particular option at this point, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.
