Just a closing comment, Mr. Chairman. I find that if a Member is found guilty of an offence and then discharged of the offence, they can still remain as a Member under the current bill. Then, I believe, we lose the original intent of the bill. The intention of the amendment is to ensure that there are no loopholes in our bill. If you're found guilty then you're guilty and you should be removed. That's the purpose of bringing forth this amendment. Yes, it is indeed high standards and I would encourage Members to support it because we should be ensuring that we guide ourselves along standards to represent the people that we represent. Thank you.
