Thank you, Mr. Chair. I, too, was an Ordinary Member in the 13th Assembly. I was at times disappointed that we had gone through a process of making priorities, allocating the budget numbers and a short time later finding out that they had been changed. The priorities that were used for the discussion in committees were changed after the fact. I believe when you approve numbers for a certain project in any specific community that the departments bringing forward those plans must have done their research to know what was possible and what was the outcome, as close as possible, in relation to the estimate of the project.
There are circumstances and emergencies, if there is a fire that burnt down a school or a complex in a community, then there are reasons to justify movement of resources. But I believe that an established system was put in place and, as Mr. Krutko stated, the five year capital review in communities to prioritize their community's interests that would come through the system to the Legislative Assembly and, once again, they would be looked at for the resources that were available and what could be achieved. And they would be put on a capital plan.
Again, it goes towards the accountability of government overall, right from your senior managers to your Ministers to this process in the House. We should fully implement what has been designed, and unless an emergency arises, when committees have gone through it and it has been approved and passed through the House, that is the way it stays. We can no longer afford to do things as they have been done in the past. We are beyond those days. At least, I hope we are. Thank you.
