What did these responses say about us as Albertans and about the future of what the government's going to try and do with these?
31:23
Well, again, they're non-binding.
31:25
So we spent $130 million to... answer questions that the government can do whatever they want with regardless and I couple of things, so the on the question 10, this is the same result 2575 that we've had for quarter century.
31:45
We could have probably hired somebody like Janet Brown or an awesome pollster and spent a couple million dollars and asked Albertans and gotten the same result, I think.
31:54
So just to get the same result that we've had.
31:58
And even out of that 25%, many of them, especially people I spoke to, were using that terminology of sending Ottawa a message, right? It wasn't necessarily on the referendum piece.
32:09
And even then, we would have had to go into another binding referendum, which couldn't have happened until after the next election.
