Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, this is another good example of the lack of communications sometimes between Cabinet and Members on this side. We are asked to vote on a motion and we don't know the details of the motion. We are scrambling down on this side trying to figure out who is going, what is going to happen at the end of this Legislative Assembly. So you come forward and you ask us to approve something. If we are just going to approve anything that is put before us, let's approve this and be done with it. But we are put there to question things and if we have concerns and legitimate concerns, this is my understanding of supposed consensus government where we get some input into what is going on so, like Norman said, we can make an educated decision. But to come before us and say you need $100,000 for a trade mission to China without providing details isn't good enough for me. So that being said, I am going to support this motion if we decide to go ahead today. If they want to do it in the 16th Assembly, they can send somebody to China then. Thank you.
