Thank you, Mr. Chairman. A petition of that size would certainly start the process in this community, but if the community is, in fact, more than 17,000 in population, it is going to take a sizable number to institute a change. There would have to be some process of consultation that would demonstrate to us this was something the community was in favour of.
