    "content": "Mr. Speaker, Sir, this is an important piece of legislation. I congratulate our colleague for providing it because this is how you ensure that people benefit and everybody creates value. I appreciate the fact that this Bill has left it to the Commission on Revenue Allocation (CRA) to guide the process because they are the constitutionally mandated body to ensure that we divide our revenue sufficiently. They make recommendations, but I am not so sure whether that is a proper arrangement. By the way, despite the fact that I am a Parliamentarian, sometimes I think had we left it to be purely a CRA function to divide resources between the two levels of Government, perhaps they would have done a better job than what we have done as a House of Parliament. They would have looked at it professionally and defined a natural resource and how much funding would be sufficient. Anyway, that is a debate for another time."
