Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I think my colleague Mr. Hawkins did a good job describing what this is about. This is simply a motion to get the future government in 10 years to conduct a review of the concept of a special majority. It was brought forward by committee and it wasn’t fully supported by Cabinet. There is some merit to looking into it and exploring it and doing some research. It definitely requires some additional research and I think 10 years from now when this comes forward for review is a good time for us to review the concept of a special majority. There might actually be some rulings in the next 10 years to that effect, so why don’t we leave it in there so that we can put it as part of our official review of this act, because my colleague is right that we don’t want political interference to occur with this money. We want it to be aboveboard. I think having these discussions at that time is both appropriate and prudent.
