I will make a quick observation because I must speak in the Chamber. I agree with Deputy Kitt. We should get information beforehand and see what it looks like. There was confusion in our literature where we mentioned voting "Yes" and an X in the box. When people see X, they think of "No". What is handed out beforehand can make a big difference. If the literature was handed out beforehand, people could see a snapshot of it.

We do not want to have different referendums on different days because people give out to us, saying that we are wasting taxpayers' money by holding them on separate days. If they saw what was coming up beforehand, it might make it easier. We could send out circulars saying that this will happen if people vote one way.
