Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Number one, the Member stated in his Member’s statement that led to this question about where do we get our mandate and how is this seeking the input of Members. First and foremost, just for the Member to start from first base, I guess, is that when departments look at what type of work they need to do, they start from the basis of, one, an establishment policy. The establishment policies
would be found on the website, so individuals could find that and the Minister of ITI is saying that is the starting point.
Second to that, as the Legislative Assembly, when we start our business, we then focus on looking at other things, then a mandate is established. Further to that, by myself as Premier, to the appropriate Ministers when we see other work that we want to take up as the Legislative Assembly.
In this scenario, we have talked about the Mackenzie Gas Pipeline. Previous Assemblies have talked about the Mackenzie Gas Pipeline. We all know that we need to be getting more information on just what benefits would flow from that, what that would mean for ourselves and how we could promote the use of natural gas to the rest of Canada and internationally as well. In this case, this specific question that the Member asked, yes, that was taken into consideration by the department. Thank you.
