I do. I wanted to get some clarification first. The word "may" is used under the advice of the Attorney General. If "shall" is put into the Bill, it limits me when it comes to discussing the matter further with other people. The use of "may" enables consultation with other people. The use of "shall" is a more definite decision and I would have to do it.
