Thank you, Madam Speaker. I know that recent mining meetings are a very serious subject, and I know it is not Friday, but I would like to ask the Premier about some statements made by the Minister of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources on CBC on March 14 about his recent meetings.
Madam Speaker, there have been some complaints about the Minister's vocabulary in the past, but I noticed in this interview he used a relatively mild four-letter word, as far as four-letter words go. He said, and I heard this four times on the various newscasts beginning with Iqaluit on Monday, "There is an agreement to sit down and take a look at what it would take to get these things up and running, what kind of infrastructure is required and who the hell is going to pay for it." Now, Madam Speaker, my question to the Premier is, is this new restrained vocabulary on the part of the Minister of Energy, Mines and Petroleum Resources, the result of a quiet discussion the Premier has had with the Minister about whether a Minister of the Crown should use profanity? Thank you.
