Mr. Chairman, I think, in this Legislative Assembly, and with the job that the Executive Council has to do, I have always looked at it as a shared responsibility and a shared decision-making. It is not because you are a Cabinet Minister, that you have all the answers. It is not because I am the Government Leader, that I have all the answers. I do not believe I can be categorized as losing the will to do something. If it cannot be done in one way, it has to be done in another way. Certainly, as Executive Council Members, we realize that all 24 people in the Legislative Assembly have something to offer. I can't see anything wrong with that or saying that each one is responsible. If we prepare a budget and someone has an initiative and they want to do something entirely different and it is going to cost multi-million dollars, certainly we would like the suggestion of some of the Members, particularly the ones who are suggesting these new initiatives, on what things they are willing to go without. I don't think that is unfair to ask that because it is just giving the thought that, certainly, people who are going to bring forward these initiatives have some idea what it would replace or what we can do without to get these new initiatives going. That is just giving due respect.

I believe that, from time to time, there are going to be initiatives that will not be well received for many reasons. It could be lack of communication, not enough consultation, something that has absolutely nothing to do with it, or an interest of certain constituencies that they feel are going to be compromised. All those issues have to be weighed when initiatives are coming forward. I want to assure the Members that I have never worked with a Member of the Executive who wasn't sincerely trying to do the very best job they could, taking into consideration all people's point of view.
