Mr. Chairman, if this bill were to pass and there were no amendments to the Legislative Assembly and Executive Council Act, then I suppose somebody could run and be elected to this Legislative Assembly. But, the intent is, as I said earlier this afternoon, Mr. Chairman, if this bill passes today, it will not be given third reading nor would we ask for third reading until such time as the Legislative Assembly and Executive Council Act has been amended and brought before this House and they would both go to third reading together. There is no intention of taking this bill to third reading without the other bill being amended to prevent the concern that Mr. Antoine raised. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
