Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the introduction of this motion sends a message to the public and Cabinet, that the changes in the capital budget and the introduction of new items without prior consultation with the respective MLA is unacceptable, Mr. Speaker. This government began as a non-confrontational assembly and I believe the majority of Members would like to see it continue this way. However, as pointed out in debate over the past few days, ordinary Members had to be consulted and asked for input before deletions or additions are made to individual projects in a particular constituency.

With the continued focus, Mr. Speaker, of this government in trying to reconcile and balance our budget, it is not the time to turn toward the politics of past assemblies. The largesse of the past is gone and the rules of engagement as well as the players have changed; thus this motion. At the proper time, Mr. Speaker, I will be asking for a recorded vote on the motion. Thank you.
