Mr. Speaker, whether I am Premier or not is a decision the House has to make here. If they are not satisfied with the actions that I take and the decisions that I make, the judgements I make, then it's up to the House to make that decision. Mr. Speaker, if there were to be another incident like this, then let's deal with it at that point. I have made it very clear what my position is as I have no tolerance at all for anything further. Mr. Zoe has told me that he is taking steps. He has told the Members in this House in other discussions that he is seeking help. I can't get into exactly what that is, Mr. Speaker, but I can assure you that we are working to make sure that this does not happen again. I am going to do everything within my power and authority to make sure this does not happen, but I can't control everything every day. I will deal with the consequences as they happen, if they happen again. I am confident by working together we can be fairly sure that this is not going to happen, but if it does, we will deal with it. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
