Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I’d like to thank the candidates for answering our questions so fully today. We truly do appreciate it. I have one last question and then I think we’re pretty close to getting to the votes. I’m not sure; there might be more.
My question is on communication. There was frustration in the public over the past four years
based on the government’s ability to communicate and work with our residents. Many feel that when public consultations were held, they were not truly consultations but more information sessions. The same is true for public hearings. In my opinion, public consultations, information sessions and public hearings are different things. Each has its place and its purpose. My question is: could you define in your words these different processes and outline when each of them should be used, and tell me as Premier how you will ensure that this government uses these processes to work with our residents and partners in an effective way so that our residents and partners feel engaged and listened to?
