Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, it's my feeling that there isn't a significant change aside from the voice that the Police Association will have now. I think the police play a significant role in our justice system and their voice should be heard in terms of the nomination committee. I'm happy about that. I'm supportive of that. There will be critics, as there have been critics in the past. However, in the past there were too many Liberal faithfuls making up these nomination committees. There will be those who criticize now and say there are too many Tory faithfuls that make up the nomination committees. Mr. Speaker, I think the point is, in my opinion, and again I've made the point there's not a government position on an issue that's largely federal. I don't see a significant change. Thank you.
