The focus of this budget, as I indicated very clearly being the last one of the 16th Assembly, is one that we want to
consolidate, one that we want to try to get as many things completed or firmly on the rails as we can during the life of this Assembly. We are continuing the work of the Strategic Initiatives committees. One of the intents was the very thing the Members talked about, was to write down the stovepipes, to get people in the room, senior government officials into areas outside their direct departmental responsibilities, not only to deal with the relatively small amounts of money that were there but to in fact come up with a way to develop, a way to engage in a policy level on a broader thinking, big picture approach, and how do we put the creativity that the Member for Great Slave talked about of employees to work in areas that they might not normally be applying themselves. That is going to continue. I believe we’ve made some very fundamental steps just by our commitment in this government, to water, to a land use framework, to the Wildlife Act, to the money we’re spending on energy and the fact that we want to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions and our carbon footprint and at the same time reduce costs and become more efficient and reduce our reliance on diesel.
