Mahsi, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, yesterday when session was finished, when I checked my mail and I received a letter from the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment. This letter is date stamped November 8, 1994, and the letter was addressed to all MLAs. The Minister is asking for nominations to establish a six-member Ministers' forum on social reform. I appreciate the Minister's initiatives but I'm very concerned about the process and the urgency shown by the Minister. As I mentioned, the letter is dated November 8th. I received my copy about 6:10 on November 8th, and the deadline in the Minister's letter is November 10th. Basically, the Minister has given us two days to respond.

This is a major initiative being undertaken by the Minister. So I would like to ask the Minister why has he only given us two days to solicit nominations for this important task?
