Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My line of questioning is focused on appreciation that we are not here to limit their discretion, but I guess the way some of us hear about this discretion that is being used is through the media. It is difficult to walk down the streets of Yellowknife without having to wear a helmet due to safety on the concerns that many citizens are very upset about the fact that you can waive or apply the policy. So without prior notice of this coming, or for us to understand some of the reasons why, it is difficult for us to defend our Executive Council or even understand why they consider their approach. Not to say we speak in favour of it, but it is a position. Therefore, I am asking the Premier, although he slightly said it, I wish him to clearly commit that he will send us some information as to why they chose to waive a policy; therefore, we will protect the general membership and our belief in the system. Thank you very much, Mr. Speaker.
