Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Frankly, I think I am in a whirlwind right now. There are processes in place and many of my colleagues use it when they feel the Cabinet has circumvented. Frankly, I am a little disappointed in the 11th hour that Mr. Ootes has come forward with this. Has not had the common decency to at least discuss it with me and show it to me. We spent three or four meetings trying to reach an appropriate arrangement. That is what politics and consensus are all about. I have asked my colleagues not to support this amendment given that it is coming at the 11th hour. I appreciate the comments of those Members of the committee that worked very hard with me in which Mr. Ootes attended those committee meetings. I thought that we had a consensus on this issue. We will not be supporting the amendment. Thank you.
