Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Communications is a very critical part of how we all work together. As somebody mentioned, communication is a two-way street. Whatever messages you get out there, you have to make sure that whoever is receiving it understands it. I think Marshall McLuhan said the medium is the message. I think that in every, depending on what it is that we’re consulting on – obviously legislation is something that’s very important – that we need to make sure that the public is aware, when people are coming in to seek their input, where the hearings are going to be held and how their issues are going to be addressed. I think on policy issues this is something that we need to agree upon.

I’ve heard Members say that whenever we go out we should have a very clear policy that we’re pushing. Other people in the communities say, well, you’re supposed to come here and listen to us, don’t tell us what you’re going to do, we’re going to tell you what to do. I think we need a clearer understanding of that.

We have a government consultation policy that I think should be required reading for everybody here. If you haven’t had input into it, you should identify what you don’t agree with there. I think whatever we do in consensus government, that’s what we do is consult, consult and consult.
