The First Minister has outlined plans for a public consultation on a draft Referendum Bill which sets out proposals for an advisory referendum on extending the powers of the Scottish Parliament.
You can make your opinions known before the consultation closes on Friday, April 30.
The draft Bill includes the proposed ballot papers for a two question referendum.
The first question asks whether the Scottish Parliament should have more devolved responsibility. The consultation paper offers two alternatives for this question.
The second question asks whether the Scottish Parliament should also have its powers extended to enable independence to be achieved.

The National Conversation, which was launched in August 2007, has invited all shades of opinion to contribute to the debate so that, ultimately, the people of Scotland can make an informed decision on their future.
There were hundreds of meetings around the country where Ministers faced questions from the public. More than 5,000 comments were sent to blogs on this website.
