Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would just like to continue on with the issue of accountability for a few more minutes. Mr. Chairman, I have come to learn and accept that there is an inherent distrust of government and politicians by the people, so the issue of accountability is significant.
In my role as an MLA from my constituency, I have a clear role to play: to represent my constituents, to work in this House, through Caucus and through standing committees to lay out strategies, and then once those directions are set and Cabinet is doing the work of government, to question them, to work with them, to give praise where praise is due, but definitely, to ask hard questions when necessary.
My job is not, as the Premier indicated, in my opinion, to openly support Cabinet, even if we do not want to because that is what the public expects. I can tell you very clearly, Mr. Chairman, that my constituents expect a balance, yet we want a productive working relationship. We all have our roles to play.
So the Premier has made some statements on accountability. It is difficult to be accountable if you are not doing anything. It is probably the easiest way to be accountable, say nothing, do nothing, get re-elected, is a phrase I have heard used. I do not think that is the intent of this Assembly or the Premier.
So the issue of accountability is very important, and I will ask all the Ministers about accountability. I have a question for the Premier though, regarding a comprehensive human resource strategy. Could the Minister indicate what type of work he is going to instruct to be done prior to our meeting in September, so that when they come in Inuvik, we will have something to look at? Thank you.
