Mr. Speaker, we certainly want to ensure that all the candidates know all the issues that we deal with and hope that their staff, their researchers, and they themselves will make themselves aware of what is happening. But, Mr. Speaker, in my mind there is a difference between us as a government and an interest group or a union who may want to host such a forum. Mr. Speaker, my view would be that it wouldn't be appropriate for us, as a government, to organize and host such a political event during a campaign. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
