Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would just like to add a very brief comment on this. First of all, for the record, MLA Krutko mentioned that there were Ministers, the Premier, Minister McLeod and Minister Miltenberger and other Ministers. I just wanted to say that I’m not trying to exclude myself, but just for the record...(inaudible)... that I was still in the Chamber when all of this happened. I was in the back lounge with MLA Beaulieu. So, obviously, that’s the record. Well, we were talking. So I have no information whatsoever about what went on.
Now, I just want to say, Mr. Speaker, in my experience as an MLA for 10 years, I’ve had my share of raising a point of privilege. I’ve had situations where I’ve felt that my privilege to do my job and represent my riding as an MLA was breached by a lot of things. I had my share of people pressuring me and such, and that’s a very important part of our ability to do our job, so I take privilege of being a Member very seriously. I trust, Mr. Speaker, that you will look at the facts and make sure that MLA Krutko’s right to do his job is not in any way jeopardized. I have no doubt that MLA Krutko will continue to do his job, advocate for his people and speak on issues that matter to them. I’m not sure from the facts of the case that any of that had happened.
I just want to say, in closing, that exchanges do happen. We are passionate people. We believe in what we believe in. We want to do the best for our people. All kinds of heated exchanges do happen, but sometimes we do make a mistake. Sometimes we do say things that we would rather not have said. Sometimes things get misunderstood in the context of how it was said. I would like to just commend the Member for Inuvik Twin Lakes for being the big man that he is. He’s a very considerate man. I believe he has a very good working relationship with everybody here and he apologized, so I hope that this Speaker will take that into consideration when he is making his decision on this item. I’m glad, in a way, that we were able to put this on the floor and deal with this before we head out for the weekend. Hopefully, when we come back on Monday we can concentrate and get back to the business of the people. I believe that we will, because I believe that we all believe that this is important work to do and we’ll get it done. Thank you.
