Mr. Speaker, the Premier is right. In my experience it is extremely rare for the government side to vote on a motion. But it is also extremely rare for a Cabinet Minister to criticize government policies. Mr. Speaker, looking at page 309 of the unedited Hansard from yesterday, it appears that Mr. Steen was critical of Health and Social Service's policy governing medical travel, and further suggests that we eliminate health boards since MLAs can represent communities. Mr. Speaker, is it now the position of this government that we eliminate health boards and have MLAs represent the communities?
