Madam Temporary Speaker, as I was saying, many governors know that if you get a bright Senator like Sen. Billow to make a presentation in that conference, they are likely to point out the real issues that are affecting devolution. Most of them are uncomfortable with facts, truth and the fact that we will point out matters particularly related to oversight. Therefore, it is not possible for us to continue going to a conference where the objective is basically to add to the numbers so that people can use us for either fundraising or colouring their conference. It is also ...

In particular, I would request the Chair ...
