(Translation) Thank you, Madam Speaker. I would like to make a brief comment on the motion. This is not the first time that I've been in this situation. This has come up about three times since I became a Member in 1975, when we tried to remove a Minister from the Cabinet. I appreciate that the motion was put on the floor so that we can comment on the motion, so that our constituents can hear.
I think that in the future, it will be difficult at times when the Premier is able to remove Ministers from the Cabinet on her own. In some cases, it would be fine if she is given that power. We all think differently. I'm sure some of us would be very unhappy if the Premier removed a Minister while Members approved of that particular Minister. A motion would probably be introduced if a Premier is able to remove a Minister and we didn't approve.
We all know today that the Premier can remove a Minister for logical reasons. We all witnessed that when she removed a Minister before. But, if there isn't a legitimate reason, then she can't remove a Minister from the Cabinet. If she removed a Minister we approved of, I'm sure most of the Members would be unhappy about that decision. I don't want to wait until the fall. If we remove Ministers from Cabinet just when they're getting to know their responsibilities, those people who consider running for Cabinet would have those setbacks. I won't be supporting the motion. Thank you, Madam Speaker.
