Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I am not going to support this motion. My position is that in order for any capital projects to be implemented in any community, the Members are the ones that should be justifying why those capital projects are there and you make an argument and sell it to the finance committee, as well as to other Members and to the government. It takes away from Members one avenue to justify why certain capital projects should be in your community, Mr. Chairman. It certainly puts the finance committee in a position where they are the ones who have the final say on whether the project is justified or not, but it certainly does not give people who are not on it that opportunity.
