Mr. Chairman, I know there has been wide-spread speculation that there was a lack of commitment to do things, it was too complicated and too difficult. I think in defence of the people who had to wrestle with this over the past year, many people have been too wrapped up in other constitutional work that there was a real sense of fatigue and there was certainly a feeling among many constituents that they had had enough of even discussing it or talking about it. As members of the commission will appreciate, especially if you read the Bible, that to everything there is a season, and that perhaps this is the right season, the right time, and for that reason I will be happy to support the motion.
