Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to express my appreciation to John Ningark. He has been a model, in my opinion, a person who listens to people and spends a lot of time thinking about what he has to do so that he does the

right thing. It is one of the unfortunate things in public life, Mr. Speaker, that it is very, very difficult to make a lot of people happy when we have a consensus kind of government or when that is the aim. I think that perhaps it gives all Members a chance to reflect on the kinds of pressures that we put ourselves under in trying to solve the problems of a vast area; on the incredible problems that we have to resolve, and the fact that among the Members that we chose last fall to serve on our Executive Council, probably John was one of the people who got the most votes.

So since that kind of appreciation and confidence drove us in the first place to do what we did, we should recognize the kind of pressures that we operate under and contemplate that when we make our next big decision. Thank you.
