Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the conditions for mediation are usually difficult to adhere to when parties start putting conditions on it. One of the things we have to recognize is legal recourses are not the panacea to resolving very complex problems such as this one. They sometimes don't resolve anything. My feeling is that through mediation we can get on the table what some of the issues are; what is causing some of the differences. We need to know that. What are the problems that are faced by Mr. Butler, what are the problems that face the DEC? I think we need to know that and to put it on the table to see if we can't resolve it.
You know, Mr. Speaker, in schools we teach this to our children, if they have any difficulties amongst each other, we bring the parties together, sit them down and say can you resolve this conflict, and its collective collaboration to try and resolve it. Thank you.
