Mahsi, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I have some very brief comments on this report. I want to say that we all know the scenario of events that led up the report and why we are here today, so I will not have to recap. It was done very well here by the Chair, Mr. Bell, yesterday in this conflict report.
I just wanted to say that it is with regret and with sorrow that we have to go through this type of process. We try to deal with each other whenever there is some complaints laid and counter complaints. I do not think that anyone of us are trained in our community or whatever background we have to deal with these sort of things, but we come to this forum here, Mr. Chairman, to represent our people in our communities and we are here to try and make life better with programs and services with the limited budget that we have. That is always in the back of my mind whenever I sit here.
Whenever we have to deal with this, I feel as if we are taking away from our ability to provide the type of leadership that we require at our community levels. We all know the issues that are out there. We hear them by Members' statements and questions in the House. That is what we should get back to. The sooner we get this over with, the better for me.
There are a number of recommendations in this report that are there that are done by members of the committee. I also want to thank the members of the committee who sat on this because it took a lot of time and effort in a crucial time during the summer months and the fall months when you should be out there moose hunting and putting meat on the table for your people.
This is what you have to do. You sacrificed your time to provide this so I would like to thank you for the work that you have put in here. There are different recommendations in here that I would like to speak on as they come up. Mahsi.
