Merci, Monsieur le President. I, too, endorse a lot of the recommendations that came out of the Special Committee on Transition Matters. I talked about some of those in my speech earlier today, things like ongoing training of MLAs. We need to more effectively use caucus, which is all of us as Regular MLAs leaving our hats at the door to talk and resolve issues. I think that we can do a better of job at that.

We need to find ways to more frequently visit each other and build working relationships. The Premier-elect knows that I did work with her well in the last Assembly. Standing committees are very, very important. They play a crucial role in how Regular MLAs work with Cabinet Ministers, and we have to make the standing committees work a lot better.

Some of the ideas that I have had from the special committee report: pre-budget consultations; clearer legislative proposals, and if they get changed, bring them back to committee; and have plain language materials ready, so that when committees take bills on the road, they can do a better job at promoting or consulting with communities and stakeholders, as well.

Those are some of the ideas. Most importantly: no surprises. That needs to be a hallmark of this Assembly moving forward. There are conventions that can help with that, but we shouldn't have surprises happening. Thank you.
