Mr. Speaker, firstly, I would differ somewhat from the Member’s characterization that the system is not working. It’s working, and I think that for the most part it works well. In some cases it may not be working as well
as we would like, but I think overall…. We’ve been evolving this process for many, many decades now.
We have come up with what we think are the latest improvements, where we will commit to providing a ten year retrospective for Members. We’ll look at the 20-year plan going forward. We’re going to get feedback, we hope, from committee in terms of the process and steps that are currently there. We already have a significant number of steps and processes that have been put in place to ensure, to the best of our ability, fairness and equity. It’s still an issue that has not been satisfactorily addressed. Collectively, I believe that we can go forward to make improvements to this system that is working but that we want to make work better.
