Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, like others in the Assembly here, I am disappointed that we have to spend time discussing these types of issues rather than dealing with the business at hand.

I do agree that we should permit the time that we spend on these issues if possible, but on the other hand we have to deal with what the circumstances call for. In this case, this is an ongoing issue that has been two years in the making now, and there are still things falling here.

I think that the recommendations of the committee have to be taken seriously. They have taken on a job that I am sure they did not really want, but out of necessity they had to do. I do recognize the fact that the recommendations do not include the removal of the full Cabinet, even though it could be said that we were part of the decision, because we were part of the decision. We did approve the funding before it went to the supplementary in this House. We were part of that decision, all of us. It was a Cabinet decision.

If Cabinet is supposed to stick together and show solidarity in situations like this, it is very, very difficult because we all have to start examining whether we were misled or if we have lost our trust in our leaders. It really becomes a hard decision to make. On the other hand, we have to take into consideration the fact that the people out there or the people we represent have a hard time realizing the amount of money we could spend on our salaries and benefits to our employees, even though these people are no longer employed with us.

There is no doubt that people out there are wondering what they could have done with that type of money. The amount of things they could accomplish in their communities or for their programs, and I do agree with the Members across the hall here that we do not have that kind of money to throw away. As a matter of fact I heard comments not long ago where Ethel Blondin-Andrew passed on a comment from Ottawa that the federal government believes we have enough money, we just do not handle it right. We have to take comments like that very seriously. What we do here has an effect all the way to Ottawa.

This type of decision, I do not believe, should be made in one or two hours. I see the clock is running out, it will be 2:00 soon and time to shut it down. I think that is good because I think that we should come back to this on Monday. I think this item should be set aside and we come back to it Monday for a decision.

Myself, I know that I have questions in my mind on whether to accept the full report of the committee. However, I do not think I am going to accomplish much at this point by removing our Premier. I think even calling a full election is not going to resolve the problems at home.

The people want us to do something. They do not want to spend money electing us back and forth, all of our time spent on ourselves rather than on them. So I really think we should think about putting this thing off until Monday and see if we cannot get some other work done and then come back to this thing after we have had a couple of night's sleep on it.

We are asking our Premier to step down. We should give him time to think about it. Myself, I am not prepared to vote right now. Thank you.
