Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to ask a question to the Government Leader. On December 16th the ordinary Members put forth a motion requesting that the government consider three ordinary Members to participate in the strategy committee for implementing the Strength at Two Levels report. I would like to quote Mr. Pollard's response at that time:
"Mr. Speaker, I think we would like to point out to the House that any changes we may make in government structure would ultimately have to pass through the standing committee on legislation, the standing committee on finance or the standing committee on agencies, boards and commissions, or all three of these committees. Mr. Speaker, ordinary Members will be consulted through the process even though the House may not be sitting. Mr. Speaker, we will commit to involve ordinary Members in reviewing the path that we may follow with Strength at Two Levels. We are unable, though, to go as far as to say that three Members from the other side could join us at cabinet meetings. However, you have our commitment, Mr. Speaker, that ordinary Members will be involved. Thank you very much."
I would like to ask the Government Leader, when were the ordinary Members involved in formulating this document, Reshaping Northern Government?
