Text
I do not want to disagree with the Member, but some of us who have been here for longer than he has may have noticed that the offering is much larger than what we had previously. The room is much larger, but its size is fairly restrictive for doing what he suggests while acting as a coffee shop at the same time. I will take his comments to the Commission for it to consider and reflect on.
