Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, this motion has been in the making for the last little while. It has gone around the House on a number of occasions and I think it is an acceptable committee that is going to look at the relationship between this government and small, rural, non-tax-based communities and the problems that those communities are having these days that our current standing committees do not seem to address.

Cabinet has appointed Mr. Steen to the committee and I think Mr. Steen will bring a lot of wisdom and knowledge to the committee and we are thankful for his involvement. I encourage the Members to support this motion today. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
