Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I was home on the weekend and it was indicated to me that at the beginning of my Member's statement on Friday, my constituents were unable to hear my Member's statement because at that time the radio was cut off. Therefore, my constituents wondered why the Minister of the Housing Corporation was using the tone that he did, saying I was conducting rnyseH in an irresponsible manner as a Member. I resent that. In fact, Mr. Speaker, I am thinking of requesting an apology. I would like to re-read my statement.
Mr. Speaker, on Friday I expressed my disappointment and concern in the actions undertaken by the Minister responsible for the Housing Corporation in dealing with a serious matter, which I brought to his attention. Mr. Speaker, on November 12, I wrote to the Minister to indicate that one of my constituents had approached me in exasperation and frustration with the attitudes of Housing Corporation personnel in the Hay River district office. In doing so, I had faith that the Minister would take the issue seriously and take responsibility to find an appropriate resolution.
I remember clearly, on November 13, 1991, in reviewing the edited Hansard, the honourable Member for Tu Nedhe said some things when he asked Members of this House to select him for a Cabinet position. He said, in this House, and I quote, "I am still committed to working with all 24 Members of this Assembly in the next four years, whether I be a Cabinet Member or an ordinary Member, guaranteed. You are going to hear from me because I am here to represent my people who are aboriginal from small communities." He also said, "When you vote today, my friends, vote for someone who is here to do a job and not someone who is just here for the job." That is why, Mr. Speaker, I am disappointment and concerned with the cavalier manner in which the Minister conducted himself when he dealt with my constituent's concern.
The constituent who approached me...
