Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, when a Member puts forth a question or statement in this House, it is a serious question or statement and should be treated in a respectful manner. Too often, Mr. Speaker, we receive curt or flippant responses from certain Ministers. I would once again remind my honourable colleagues across the floor that this is still a consensus government. Mr. Speaker, every question asked in this Chamber should be answered if the information is available, unless a legal issue is at stake.

Mr. Speaker, as a Member of this House, this Assembly, it is not my intention to become one of the Brady Bunch. Therefore, if my constituents raise certain issues with me, whether is it popular or not, my honourable friends across the floor, I will ask that question because that is why I am here. As I mentioned earlier, Mr. Speaker, when Members pose a question, he or she has the right to expect a serious answer. These are not personal questions, and they should not be treated, as they are in some cases, with such disdain. Mr. Speaker, I will close by saying when a question or concern is raised by an Ordinary Member in this House, it should be responded to in a dignified manner, with every effort made to provide adequate information. When this is not done, there is a perception of avoidance, and then this House is brought into question. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
