The proceedings have been enlightening. We have witnesses here from both the pro-choice and pro-life sides of this deliberation, but I would hope that from these proceedings we will see a pro-common sense approach to dealing with this problem.

I have one question, specifically for Youth Defence. I would consider some of the campaigning Youth Defence has done in the past barbaric to say the least. I would ask them directly whether they will change their tactical campaigning over the course of the decision making that will take place in the next few months regarding this legislation or whether we will see appalling billboard campaigns throughout the country over the next few months. It is a specific question to which I want a specific answer.
