I certainly have not. These are registered ILUAs. My concern has been to protect their registration following the McGlade decision, and that is my only concern. There have been a lot of wild things said in this debate, including from your party—and not only your party—many of them inaccurate, speculative and at variance from reality, so I am not going to reflect upon the sentiment you have just expressed. Suffice it to say, the bill before the chamber does one thing and one thing only, and that is to protect the ILUAs that would have been put at risk by the McGlade decision, and there are 126 of them. I am advised they are available—or at least the public details of them are available—on the register.
