Thank you, Mr. Chair. Mr. Chair, we all know that when we started at this Legislative Assembly, the first couple budgets, as I mentioned in an earlier question, held quite a bit of contention and consternation. We felt like we were fighting a battle rather than working together. Members, of course, clearly felt that it was their job to uphold and protect the mandate. Certainly, the government had felt that it was their responsibility to get the fiscal house in order.

We know that, Mr. Chair, as I mentioned this kind of had a massive back-and-forth effect between us. I think the biggest problem, Mr. Chair, was that we felt like we were not a part of the decision-making process and that we weren’t included in it. My question is for the Minister of Finance, Minister McLeod, I’m wondering. He had the opportunity again: would he do anything specifically to change the process again and especially as it relates to having MLAs be more inclusive in the process. Thank you, Mr. Chair.
