Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I will be more careful with my words today, Mr. Speaker, than I was yesterday. I appreciate your wise words about the care we must take when we address each other.
I would like to reiterate that we have had so much experience now with what we call consensus government. It is very, very easy to simply say it is a wonderful idea to agree with something, and not to follow through with it. I am not implying the government did not intend to follow through, but the reality is that nothing happened. They appointed three people who were not given the opportunity to participate in what was considered by this government as being a priority and something that we should get on with. That is, to reshape government in order to live within reduced resources and to give people the power to control those things in their lives which matter most to them. What concerns me most, Mr. Speaker, is that when we examine this report Strength at Two Levels, all we are really doing is examining the concept of strength, and there is no vision in this document. It concerns me that those people from communities -- they do not live in Yellowknife; they live elsewhere, that is where they make their home -- those people from those places, who could help to create this vision of what that strength should be at those two levels, were not involved. I think it is a shame that this did not happen, for whatever reason. Thank you.
