    Everyday I read the news. I read a lot of news. Really, I read as much news as I can. And in the course of my news reading each and every day, I check out the Canada Wire, one of two listings of the major press releases put out by the Canadian government everyday. And this caught my eye this morning:


    "Minister of Finance Ralph Goodale has released a report by the Wise Persons' Committee entitled It's Time."


    The Wise Persons Committee? What the heck? A visit to the Wise Persons Committee's website reveals little as to how this government committee earned the title "Wise Persons". They are writing about pensions. Pensions? I mean I want smart people to deal with that, but I also want wise people on, say, the Cabinet. And the Canadian Arts Council, and the Canada Student Loan Plan. Especially the Canada Student Loan Plan. Go interest relief.


    Regardless, I believe I would be willing to sit on the Wise Persons Committee. I have a great deal of experience at being, well, wise. And a person.
