With respect to my colleagues in the registry constituency, I find it extremely bad form to have lengthy documents such as this tabled minutes before a long-scheduled call. I would like to request that any consideration or discussion of this submission be set aside pending an opportunity for the rest of council to adequately review them with our respective constituencies. This should be done in parallel with our existing agenda - I don't seek to delay consideration of any documents or items on the agenda that has been distributed. Thanks, -r Bruce Tonkin wrote:
