Mr. Chairman, the section that deals with the public bodies is in...This bill itself was presented as an action paper about a year and a half ago. All the general public was aware of it. We've travelled to several communities to address the bill itself and those are the presenters who gave us presentations. One of the things said at that time, or that the Members suggested is that because of the type of work Members do, all the Legislative Assembly Members are excluded from this act. I didn't see any great opposition to it when we travelled to communities. This whole thing was through a two-year process. Since the government made a commitment to go ahead with it, it has been in the public domain. Where we went to the communities, there doesn't seem to be anybody upset over the direction the government is going. So I don't see what the problem seems to be now.
