Too many for all of us. I sit on the housing committee and the children committee. I can tell the Senator that many an NGO has come in and absolutely torn the Government apart because that is democracy. In fact, we fund them to do it at times in order to point out where our deficiencies are. The idea that their loyalty or “Yes” votes can be bought or coerced is one that I find objectionable - it is obscene, to be perfectly honest.
