Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I had not thought of speaking until Mr. Patterson spoke. I think the process was more than unfair. I think the fact is that the Minister did not think it necessary to consult all Members of the Assembly to seek their advice on the matter of appointments. In fact, he spoke only to certain Members of this House, to seek their advice, and did not even have the courtesy to provide Members of this House with any notice that he would be seeking the idea of appointing new members to the Workers' Compensation Board. I think that was pretty unfair. I hope that in future, whether or not it is this particular board or others, that all Members will receive the same kind of courtesy of consultation and involvement.
I think the fundamental concern and principle that is the basis of this particular motion is the matter of having Members of this House involved in determining the manner in which our government will be run and how our particular regions will be represented in a direction and manner in which our influences are heard and are to be seen. If our influence is not important, then I guess we should be told that. I do think it was pretty unfair, and I think that it was wrong, more than just to suggest that it was an error. That is all that I want to say at this particular time.
