Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yesterday was an excellent debate and I would say in my view it certainly was one of our better days if not our best day as legislators here. With regard to the mandate on devolution, I had said that I would make it available to Members and I certainly will do that. Mr. Speaker, because we are in negotiations, I really don't think it would be wise to make public our mandate unless everybody wanted to put their mandates on the table because it is a negotiated process. But, Mr. Speaker, I'm ready to make it available to Members privately. I'm ready to make it available to the committee and if the committee wants to meet on it, then I certainly take to heart one other Member's statement of not wanting to do too much business in committee, but there are some things that probably are better dealt with in committee so we don't bias our process. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
