    There we are people. It is happening. There were concerns that it might not happen.

    All good if the Governments version has the right stuff.

    Even if it does not, the repeal of the Labour version is a great example of Democray in action.

    That is exactly correct - Labour and others will spin this every which way but it is simply what this government was elected to do. Democracy in action indeed, well put.

    Whew, good riddance. My primary issues with it were the co-governance
    and the sheer incompetence that would be brought to bear into the
    provinces. The old ISO9000 mentality is still with us, that processes
    can somehow substitute for intelligence. It can't. Bad processes
    with good people are far superior to good processes with bad people,
    every time. It is the people. There is no substitute for hiring the best-qualifued person for any position. Hiring by any other criterion
    brings about the "loss of expertise" which grinds our civilisation to
    a halt.
