style="FONT-FAMILY: Arial; COLOR: blue; FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Thanks for this draft,
Philip. Thanks to the drafting team as well. I need to give it a
second read before commenting further, but two questions have arisen which I
hope you can shed more light on. First, did your team undertake any
dialogue with our other (currently) two constituencies in the Non Contracted
House to see if our revised Charter is more consistent (read: easier to
integrate) with the others in the longer term? And second, does anyone
have a sense as to where the timeline stands for the considered “merging of the
constituencies”? I think that the answer to these questions will assist us
all in reviewing your draft BC Charter.<o:p></o:p></SPAN></FONT></DIV>
