Mr. Speaker, I think we could have saved five minutes by just saying nothing. Mr. Speaker, honestly, this is very upsetting and certainly shameful. The Minister will keep telling this House and the people of the North that the silent majority support her. Mr. Speaker, I was camped out in front of the post office, Shopper’s Drug Mart and a few other places having people sign post cards. Lots of people signed it to tell the Minister to revisit this policy, Mr. Speaker. I only had maybe one or two people said they liked the direction. Mr. Speaker, there is not a silent majority on this issue. Where are the Minister’s facts on that silent majority supported? I am not talking about the people who are covered or the people who always will be covered. I am talking about where are the people of the silent majority who won’t be covered showing you this is the right way to go? Will the Minister prove that to this House and prove that to the people in the gallery and prove that to the people of the Northwest Territories? Thank you?
