Thank you, colleagues, especially Mrs. Groenewegen.

Mr. Speaker, I think it is important that as individuals and as Northerners, we are a small-knit community where everyone knows everyone else. For myself, I am saddened to hear of people such as Gord Stewart, Rod Hardy...people who have put their careers on the line to assist this government in different areas to sit on boards, agencies and take the directorship of companies and corporations that this government may have an interest in, but for us to take the time to realize what has this government done, not only to a public utilities hearing process, but to the individual rights and privileges and tarnish these individuals' credibility. I for one think that is something that as a government, we never do to other leaders and to other directors of any corporation, regardless of who is right or who is wrong.

With that, Mr. Speaker, I will be asking the Premier more questions regarding what is in the letter.
