Thank you, Mr. Chairman. It seems to me that there is an old saying where you put the cart before the horse. I think what we really need to do is to quickly move toward putting the three ordinary Members who were elected into the process of developing an implementation strategy. That has to be done quickly to give this side of the House the confidence that their input is being acknowledged and accepted on an ongoing basis. That is one.
System Needed For Resolving Disputes
Two, it is fine to say, "Let us get on with it," but as there are, in any document, imperfections, and according to everyone's statements, there are things in this document that some of us are not satisfied with, there needs to be a system set in place for debate, and for the resolve of disputes or differences. To me, this could go on for days. It seems to me that what we have is a feeling of lack of confidence. I think the easiest way to bring about this confidence is to move quickly to move the three Members on this side of the House into the development of the implementation strategy, and then debate the report on an ongoing basis. Until we solve this, I think there is still going to be a feeling of neglect.
My feeling is that no matter how well-intentioned the objectives are in the period of time between when the report was tabled and where we are today, perhaps, in hindsight, we should have involved the ordinary Members in the development of implementation.
Given that, I think this is what we need to do now: Bring forward the ordinary Members into the implementation process, and then the document and the implementation strategy will reflect not only cabinet's concerns, which are understandable, but will also reflect, to some extent, the concerns of ordinary Members. Thank you.
