Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I did not initially intend to do this, as I figured after the commotion that we have gone through, it was time to get on with the process. However, it seems that this is continued by actions taken in this House and I cannot agree with this. The Commissioner, the Honourable Glenna Hansen, has been advised by legal counsel for the Conflict of Interest Commissioner. The Speaker has advised all Members of this Assembly that there may be litigation pending or arising out of this matter. The Premier has today, and another Member has yesterday, tabled documents that comment on this process. Has the Premier received advice from his deputy Attorney General as to whether these steps may adversely affect or prejudice this government, which is almost certainly to be party to any litigation? Has the Premier considered in any respect the interest of the government as a whole, rather than simply his own interest or that of his immediate staff?

In addition, this matter is one that we had hoped was concluded by the report of the committee, the motions of the House and the motion in front of it respecting the Premier. It was clear the wish of all concerned, including the public, is that we move forward with the business of government. Why is it that the Premier insists on returning to this issue and relighting the fire of controversy? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
