Mr. Speaker, over the past few days, I have spent a lot of time soul-searching for the elusive answer to a most-important question. Mr. Speaker, when the fogshrouded veil was lifted, the answer appeared to me like a thunderbolt from the mighty hand of Thor. When you bring a collective of 24 people together without a party structure, allegiances are made from common ground or geography. This appears to be the case in this Assembly. I have no problems with this, Mr. Speaker, but sometimes the Borg collective takes over.
Mr. Speaker, the Borg collective controls the thought patterns and sometimes interrupts independent thought practices. I've been trying to resist the Borg collective but, Mr. Speaker, because of Thor's thunderbolt, I can see now that in some cases the Borg collective is not necessarily a bad thing.

Mr. Speaker, consensus government allows independence of thought and ideas. Although the collective is at work, I think that this has been evident this past week. 1, for one, am thankful for this. Qujannamiik, Uqaqtii.
