Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would have to look at this in detail. In my time in this House, since 1979, the role of the Commissioner and the speech from the throne has conventionally been delivered as it is. I remember an occasion when the address was made, there were a lot of statements on births and deaths. I hope that if there is another way that the ordinary Members would like us to approach that, we can have a discussion on it, if you feel certain things can be moved to the speech from the throne. I am certainly open to any kind of suggestions and direction on that. In the daily activity of government, it is the Cabinet and the Government Leader who are doing business on behalf of all Members. I presume, given that, it was just a convention of where the business was conducted. If the Member would wish us to redirect some of the broader policies in the Commissioner's address, we would be quite happy to do that. Thank you.
