Mr. Chairman, just as a matter of clarification I would like to point out that it is not in the prerogative of the Executive Council, Cabinet, Madam Premier or any of the Ministers to comment as to what the Speaker's description should be. The Speaker is a creature, or a person who reports to...

---Laughter

Well, he is kind of a tall creature. He is a servant of the House is what I am trying to say. I did not say serpent, either.

---Laughter

A servant of the House and consequently, his duties and all the other things that go along with his office are subject to the Management and Services Board of this Legislative Assembly, so the government will not be able to look into what the duties of the Speaker should or should not be. It is not within our mandate. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
