I do not want to be misunderstood by not supporting this motion. Having an ombudsman is probably a very good idea. We have been told time and time again that we are in a deficit, a bad situation, there are other programs which are to be funded, and there are cut backs elsewhere. I am thinking about priorities. I do not think this is a priority at this moment in this time of financial restraint. That is why I will not be voting for it. It is not that I do not want an ombudsman, but it is not a priority at the moment. Thank you.
