Mahsi, Madam Speaker. As a seconder to this motion, I would like to say a few words. The reason I agreed to second this motion is because we're here as legislators to represent our people in the communities and to provide the best programs and services we can to them. We bring the issues into the House and try to get answers from different Ministers who have been elected by all of us to take on different departments, lead them, and take on the responsibility as Ministers.

Our job here is to try to represent our people by asking questions and by trying to get answers from the Ministers. Since the review and since these proceedings are now viewed publicly on television in the communities, people in the communities watch these proceedings and know now what is going on in the House. They know what kinds of questions are being asked and what kinds of answers we're getting. The people in the communities see the kinds of responses we're receiving.

I've been told, many times, that there seems to be a lack of response from the Honourable Rebecca Mike on important questions. As a result of that, I thought it would be good to see if we could make some changes. I said this privately and I'm saying it publicly now that I think we've been dealing with this long enough and this is the place to make a decision. We're all elected here to make decisions.

I'm supporting this motion of my colleague to see what everybody here feels like. I agree with my honourable colleague, Mr. Gargan, that once we decide how we are going to deal with this motion, we leave it at that. Some Members wanted to leave it with a strong statement. I agreed with that, however, a strong statement would be made, but the problem would still be there. If Members in this House feel she's doing well enough, they have to vote that way.

The other problem I have is the rest of the Cabinet Members are carrying very heavy loads. The Premier indicated that she assigns the work-load according to the abilities of the Members of the Cabinet. She made that statement to us yesterday in Caucus. I want to point out the work-load that we have for the rest of our term, with the amalgamation of Social Services and Health that is coming, and the revision of the income programs. There is a lot of work. I just wanted to clear the air by agreeing to have my name as a seconder to this motion. We'll put it on the floor and decide here whether we support this motion or not. Mahsi.
