Saying that we have the final say about what happens in this House ... I might be new, but what I see here is a bunch of numbers on a piece of paper that so happens to be there from FMB. As an ordinary Member, I have no input with regard to what FMB puts in front of us. I see that there is discretion as to how things are allocated. As the Member for Nunakput said, does it come down to a question of priority or who gets the first drink at the trough? Is it done on the question of essential services or on the question of people having input into the decision-making process before it comes to this House?
