Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I rise today to speak on the goings on in this Assembly this past week. I was not here at the time the motion was made by Mrs. Marie-Jewell. This was because I felt the Government Leader can assess the situation and come to an agreeable solution, and that this was not the way of my upbringing.
Considering the fact that the government is trying to consolidate certain departments in an effort to save money, cabinet has been put in the very difficult position of trying to manage a system with very limited resources.
Under Ministers' statements yesterday, the Government Leader implied that there will be reassignments after reassessing the Ministers' abilities. This is one of the routes suggested by the ordinary Members in their motion. In a consensus style of government, there has to be agreement among a majority of Members. I agree with the outcome of the Government Leader's response. I have confidence in the Government Leader. She will be able to address the concerns of the ordinary Members with regard to the recommendations in her deliberations. I have every confidence in the Government Leader that her decision will be in the best interest of all the people of the Northwest Territories. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
