Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to make some comments for the record about our Mid-Term Review yesterday. I will reference this as to why I would like to make those comments for the record. For some, if not many, the Mid-Term Review process was a worthwhile undertaking, and I was somewhat disappointed that the main headline in the news this morning was a quote by my honourable colleague from Thebacha whereby he said, I can only hope this has been a once in a lifetime experience. At first I thought he was making fatuous statement, Mr. Speaker, but he was deadly
serious with his comment in my opinion. I just want to comment today that for me that process was very worthwhile and I hope it was for others.

Thank you. There are many reasons for that, Mr. Speaker. Why it was worthwhile. You know, we have to remember that the public out there needs to know the answers to questions. They need to be informed of what is going on in tie government. One of the methods by which we have the ability to do that is to speak here in the House and just because we have to sit here for seventeen hours, which frankly, Mr. Speaker, to me, was not that big of an undertaking. I have done that many, many times in my life, many more hours than that. So while, yes, it is straining and very stressful at times, I understand that. I do not think we should pat ourselves on the back, just because we sat here for seventeen hours. That is our job to bring forward, we had all agreed it would be done over two days. We could not change it.
The other point is, that Cabinet was elected by us, by us, as Members here. Not as an overall general public election. Therefore, it is important that we demonstrate to the public and Cabinet had the opportunity to respond in a way where we are going from here. I think it served that purpose. For me, a future Legislature should undertake this at all times as long as the Members here elect the Members of Cabinet. A Mid-Term Review, as we have proven, is beneficial. It is productive and it can lead us from here. It is, to me, very worthwhile. We are going tabulate a beneficial report that we can take from here for our next...
