What I was hoping we would do is to make it matters of relevance. What could happen is that this would mean in terms of a public matter, and I do not know if I have done anything better when making it a public policy matter. You could say that everything is a public policy matter. The concern I would have is the number of petitions. We have a response mechanism for petitions where government has to respond to petitions within so many days. Does this mean that all of the petitions which are filed by the public follow the same rules where government would have to respond as though it was tabled by a Member of the Legislative Assembly. I was trying to restrict it, but if it does not then I will withdraw it. It is my understanding that it does not help anything by inserting "policy."
