Senator Gold: Again, Senator Plett, and with respect, I’m happy that you are proud and I’m happy that you talk to your colleagues. I talk to colleagues in the government that I represent.

I stand by what I said in my speech about the proposal before you. Certainly, the decision to come forward with a pre-study was a decision that we made in the Government Representative Office in the Senate. I hope that it will enjoy the support of a majority of senators. I think it’s the right thing for us to do.
