Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I believe that I have been very clear as to my mission between now and division. I am firmly of the belief that the people of the Northwest Territories are entitled to a government and leaders that they can put their confidence in. I am on a quest or crusade to ensure that this government functions in as open and transparent a fashion as possible. In the days ahead, I will be speaking to the issues which could enhance the credibility of our government. Maybe it is time that we take another critical look at the merits of consensus government versus party politics. Maybe we need an ombudsman. Maybe we should look at the possibility of a comprehensive audit by the Auditor General prior to division to determine if long-term leases and contracts extending past April 1, 1999 are of good value or a VFM audit, as they are called, and numerous other ideas that I have and have had suggested to me. In response to calls by some Members about getting on with substantive issues, I want to ensure you that I consider the integrity of this government to be a very substantive issue which affects every other issue of this government. I have shown respect for the decorum and purpose of this House by raising many serious issues reflecting the concerns of many honest northerners. If our government is perceived to lack integrity, this does affect us all and it behooves us all to face it and deal with it. I am doing my part, Mr. Speaker, to get answers and I thank my colleagues who have also been on the credibility trail. To the highly principled other Members who have been very quiet, maybe it is time to get involved. To all of my colleagues, let us take our two new territories into existence on a ticket of integrity, credibility and equal opportunity for all. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
