Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I, too, would like the opportunity to visit and talk about Cabinet performance in mid- term. For ordinary Members, to me, that gives us an opportunity to talk about the direction the government is taking and to have some input on that direction, to put forward some ideas before Cabinet and to see how Cabinet is performing. And we can ask questions with respect to specific Cabinet Members, perhaps, and to ensure that they are representative of the whole of the Northwest Territories. For Cabinet, it gives them an opportunity to give us an explanation of how they are performing, what they have done and what they hope to do.

To me, it does not mean that we turf out the old Members, automatically that is, unless we set a mandate here that they only have one and a half years to serve. To me, it's an opportunity to question Cabinet and Ministers. It means an opportunity to ensure that there is not a four-year commitment that they definitely are in for that period of time. If we give that four- year commitment, then it's hard to undo.

We want to as we go, of course, continually have the opportunity to reflect on the direction of government, and that we have the opportunity to continually have input. I don't want it to be interpreted that just because we have a review in a year and a half we won't have the opportunity to have input into the decision-making process and the ability to comment on the direction. I think that's an area that I'm very concerned about. Of course, we do remain having the opportunity to present a non- confidence motion, but as we all know that's a very difficult thing to do. However, I remind Members that there are eight Cabinet Members and 16 ordinary Members. Thank you.
