Thank you, Mr. Abernethy. I’ll go to Mr. Roland first.

MR. ROLAND: Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I think that first and foremost, in whatever role we play, the responsibilities and the authority that we carry in our positions, we must treat all employees, it doesn’t matter what level, with respect as an individual and build on that as they work through our system of government and recognizing the commitment they make on behalf of us. At this table we have discussion, we may have heated discussion, and many folks talk about the hot air that rises from this place and maybe that’s all at times, but, more importantly, I think it’s the people out there, the frontline people who deliver the service to the community and we have to recognize that work and the effort they put in that. I think, as a government, we’ve tried to do that in the past and we need to build on that, but at the same time we need to work with them to get ideas from them if we’re going to make changes to the way we deliver programs, because it’s one thing to sit at this high level of government and talk about what works and doesn’t work in communities, but we need to talk to those at the front line to say what works for you in how you deliver your program. Because there are a lot of ideas out there that don’t get tapped into because we’re too busy at this level looking at reports and briefings developed by a consultant or high-level staff within the organization. We need to reach down and talk to those.

I can go back to my father, as well. For years when he went from reindeer herding to Inuvik to work for the SAM School, he worked as a custodian, but he had a lot of input right up the ladder as he talked to what he would say were his bosses. So we can go back to some of that and work with the people on the front line. Thank you.
