Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, there was one motion that we were going to make out of the Governance and Economic Development committee, and it was kind of a government-wide motion. So I would like to make a motion right now. I move that the committee recommends that the government establish regular reporting of all southern and international travel.

Thank you, Mr. Delorey. With some advice from the Clerk, it may be better to go through the Legislative Assembly, and then before we move adoption of the entire budget you would move that motion at that time. Are you going to be alright with that, Mr. Delorey?

We are not quite done yet. There is a motion on the floor to report progress is not debatable. All those in favour? All those opposed? The motion is defeated.

Thank you, Mr. Chairman. I can't speak in favour of this motion. I guess where I am coming from on this is if we, as a government, and then through our various departments and agencies, have a reasonably good policy on travel, and if we go about passing our business plans and giving these people instruction and direction to go do a job on our behalf, then I think along with that comes sort of a degree of trust and integrity in their ability to make prudent decisions about where we are going to travel, and follow the policies that have been set under which they will do that. I think this kind of scrutiny might play well out there once in a while when there might be some high profile delegation or perceived junket somewhere, but I don't see the value of passing this kind of a reporting mechanism. It basically says to me that we don't have good policies in place and we don't have trustworthy people in place. So I don't support it. Thank you.

My thoughts on this are that I think the Premier committed some kind of quarterly reporting to us as well. The public will kind of look at this, and it may raise more questions in the public than we care to. Those are my comments on that.
