Mr. Speaker, I believe that the action that I have taken and the action that Mr. Zoe has taken certainly indicates that we view this issue very, very seriously. I believe that what has been done to date not only upholds our ethical standards, but is also showing responsibility towards ourselves as Cabinet Ministers and as MLAs. I want to make it very clear that there will be absolutely no tolerance from here on, and I have said that to many of the Members. I have told Mr. Zoe, I have told all of Cabinet, that there will be no further acceptance of this. Mr. Speaker, I don't want to get into the details of this, but at this point I think that we have dealt with the issue, I think I have dealt with it in a way that is fair, and I think at the same time underlines the importance and the significance of this kind of incident. I can assure you, Mr. Speaker, and assure this House that this will not be tolerated further. Thank you.
