Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I would like to follow up on the line of questioning Mr. Roland was just pursuing with the Premier. I am a little bit distressed that the Premier keeps talking about a Caucus meeting. I thought that it was a general practice that what happened in Caucus was kept in Caucus and it was not something that came out on the floor of the House.
Also, Caucus was not be to a decision-making place. In other words, we would use the committees and the official parts of this Assembly, not the unofficial parts of the Assembly, for decision-making.
I am troubled that he seems to think that some direction was provided that the government should respond to at Caucus, because that would not be appropriate.
Having said that, I would also like to say that from my recollection -- after having said we should not be talking about Caucus -- it was one of the things that I brought up at Caucus, that Towards a Better Tomorrow did not appear to provide the same emphasis on the environment that it did on economic development. What I suggested was that we needed a better balance. I did not say that one should have a priority over the other.
I am a little concerned that the Premier is also now saying that there is a priority here. I think if anything, I was trying to point out that a Caucus document maybe needed to have some better balance in it. That was what I was speaking to -- a document that was the property of Caucus.
If we are talking about direction to government, I am not sure that it is appropriate that that sort of direction be taken from Caucus, which is not an official part of this House and does not have official records or records of proceeding, whereas our committees do.
Just a comment about the process and the Premier, where he is taking direction from. Thank you, Mr. Chairman.
