Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, today we're talking about the point of privilege that we're faced with of what happened yesterday. What happened yesterday is a very serious issue that we're faced with. We've all seen it. Some of us heard it, of what took part. Here we may have rules like gesture equals recording. We've seen it and we've heard it and it's uncalled for. As Cabinet Members, you know, there's accountability. We're accountable to the public, the general public at large, and also our constituents, 43,000 people living in the Northwest Territories. My fear is that if it happened yesterday, is it going to happen again tomorrow or today? We must prevent that from happening again. We have to show respect, from over there, across the table here. There's no need for this gesturing or passing notes, getting each other frustrated or mad, whatever it may be. But we have to hold on to our profession. How we deal with issues, we may be frustrated at times, mad, on dealing with certain issues. Especially Mr. Minister that has one of the biggest portfolios, we understand his situation, what he's going through but, at the same time, dealing with issues has to be at a professional level.

Family, again, comes first. I fear for my wife as a teacher. I fear for the kids in the community. I fear for those that are going to be nurses in the communities, lay dispensers, community health reps. They're not here to defend themselves. Even though it's remarks let's say to Mr. Ramsay from Kam Lake, are remarks to all of us sitting around this table. It's remarks to CHRs, lay dispensers in the communities.

So I take a real offence to this, that this came out. I'm very disappointed in this government that we're faced with. So I'd just like to show my disappointment and that we must show respect. As Norman Yakeleya indicated earlier, our elders have always showed us respect; respect for one another. So I'd just like to elaborate on the point of privilege that was put forward. Mahsi.
