Thank you, Mr. Chairman. As has been indicated, the smaller communities do need some form of reassurance that things are going to happen and in order for that reassurance we feel very strongly that things have to be in legislation before this Assembly dissolves and we all know that legislation takes time to be drafted and there are only certain people that can do drafting, but this government has used drafters from the south in the past and we have people in the past who used to work here that live in other jurisdictions and I know that this government still uses them. I would like to see if the Premier would be willing to use other drafters than our own staff if we have to in order to insure that this legislation is completed in time to be passed by this Assembly. Thank you.
