Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thanks to my colleagues for bringing this motion forward. I guess I find myself aligning with Ms. Bisaro's comments, so I won't repeat them all, but I don't necessarily agree with the formula, but I strongly support taking the question to the public, and I very much appreciate that. That's the main thrust of this motion. These are public dollars. In my view, I think, in the short term, all of the dollars should go into the Heritage Act Fund while we have a mature discussion and really examine where we see the needs and where the public would like to see these dollars going. I'm also not sure to what degree we can bind future governments on these dollars. They will be part of our annual budget and so on. But they do represent new revenues and that does qualify them for some serious discussion and serious public participation and might go some way to help bind up those wounds that the public is feeling about being left out of this sort of thing in the past. Mahsi.
