Thank you, Mr. Chair. First, I’ll ask for a recorded vote to make sure that gets on record.
I just want to emphasize that even though this is a Ministerial riding, Regular Members are fighting for the principle of this issue. The issue is that we don’t like this process. We’re able to look way beyond partisan issues and fight for the people of the North, no matter what airport this is.
I think the Member for Thebacha is crying. I wouldn’t assume that, though. We’re speaking so passionately about the riding of Thebacha.
I’m also voting for this, as well, because if we don’t vote for this — just like the other two issues — what we’re setting is a blueprint on our process. By acknowledging that this is sort of the format of how this is proceeding, we relatively accept it. I think, as you’ve seen through the last couple of motions, we’re not assessing this process. Even though it is a ’09–10 budget, Cabinet has, through their process, brought in these issues. I think it’s important for us to highlight them. By voting for this motion, we say we don’t agree with this. When Cabinet does go away and work on these blueprints — called the budget — they will know how we feel in advance, so maybe some true work can be done to reverse this.
