Let’s look at the facts. The record would speak for itself. The Members of this Assembly, and the Member himself, has talked

about the fact that the government has grown substantially. It has grown too big. We can pull that out of Hansard. When we target these areas for reduction, and there’s unfortunately some impact there on individuals in jobs and positions, now it’s “Don’t do it.” And if you’re going to have to do it, notify them early. So we did that, but we did it wrong, so — no good. I don’t know what environment I’m in.

We’ve listened to Members. The Member himself raised the issue of a bypass road here in Yellowknife. That wasn’t in the capital plan. We listened. It is now presented as part of the package. Is that not listening? For one of the schools, St. Joe’s here in Yellowknife, the cost came in higher than was budgeted. A process became available; we put it in the system. Is that not listening? Reduce the amount on the Mackenzie Gas Project area. Members made that recommendation, and we met them halfway on that. Is that not listening?
