Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I, too, like most of the Members here, generally support the report, "Strength at Two Levels." I admit there are some areas that, I think, once we get into a more detailed review of it, we will need to examine closely; and we have to deal with the concerns of the other people around the table. I think it is important to remember, too, as the Government Leader said, that 10 years ago we were in much the same position and we have not been able to achieve a devolution of government. I think that many people in the North want to see that. I think it is important that we do not get ourselves into a situation where 10 years from now we are sitting around saying that nothing has happened. It is important that we move on the report quickly, and I hope the government has the will to ensure that the concerns of the MLAs are dealt with in a timely fashion.

Clear And Concise Timetable For Implementation Important

We have to be able to sit down and make sure that we can achieve a resolution of the concerns that are felt around the table for the various areas, so that a clear and concise implementation timetable can be proposed and agreed to and supported by a clear majority of us; otherwise we will not be able to proceed. I think it is not only important for the future of the Territories and being able to deal with such things as our fiscal problems right now, but it is also important because this report has some implications for people at certain levels of employment in the government. I think that a lot of those people right now are fairly nervous as to what their future may be, and I think we owe it to them to deal with this situation and come up with a clear program for implementation. I hope that the Government Leader has a timetable in mind that will see this Legislature coming to an agreement on a timetable, and especially in terms of dealing with some of the people that may be losing their jobs. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
