Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I agree the process that took place could have been handled better. I attempted to contact Mr. Patterson prior to my meeting in Yellowknife and also to attend federal and provincial meetings. I was told he was in the standing committee meeting. Normally the standing committee cannot be disturbed, unless it is by a staff person. Since I was leaving shortly after my call, I asked my deputy minister to inform Mr. Patterson that this was coming to a head. My deputy minister called Mr. Patterson's office on November 10. He was not successful. Then he came over to the Legislative Assembly to talk to Mr. Patterson and he was still in the standing committee meeting, but he waited for him to come out. At that time, he was able to give him a copy of the letters sent to the town of Iqaluit and to the new administrator. It was not my intention to keep the MLA in the dark. I agree, Mr. Speaker, this could have been handled better and I apologize to Mr. Patterson for the shortness of consultation.
