Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As I had said earlier, Members have been expressing grave concern with respect to the point that there has been no opportunity for them to be able to indicate to government, no forum of any type for public discussion, to be able to indicate to government the report in totality. There has never been one session during our sessions here that we have even discussed one page of this report; and the government, as a result, has developed the report, Reshaping Northern Government, and from that document come different types of concepts to be further discussed in this session.

Mr. Chairman, I guess the point that I would like to stress to the government is that everything seems to be going ahead with Strength at Two Levels, with the recommendations, with very little input from the Members on this side of the House. There are many Members that object to that. Not all Members have taken the opportunity to talk to the government about some of the recommendations, and as a result they feel isolated from government and government formulating their decisions on the different recommendations that came forth in Strength at Two Levels.

Mr. Chairman, because of the fact that this document being formulated, Reshaping Northern Government, has basically been developed by the government as a result of Strength at Two Levels, we would propose to go through the Beatty report and that the government listen to some of the concerns we have with respect to the Strength at Two Levels report, as Members, and we would like to proceed to go through it page by page. Thank you.
