Mr. Chairman, after serious consideration on this particular clause, I realize that the government is making only minor amendments in terms of making corrections to the appropriate name and so forth but the concern that I'm raising is of a broader nature. Mr. Chairman, these regional councils exist only on paper at this time and that's the point I was making. In reality, they don't exist. I understand what the Minister is doing and the point that I was trying to make was that if they are going to make any changes to the Regional Councils Act, it should have been done right in the first place where these broader issues should have been addressed. Unfortunately, this was not the case. But after talking to a number of Ministers they assured me that the whole issue of the Regional Councils Act will be revisited. I wonder if I could ask the Minister, pertaining to clause 50, if they are going to make a commitment to making major amendments to the Regional Councils Act in the future.
