Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I agree with you on the respectful dialogue that has to happen in this House, but if the Member is in one statement he uses terms like “sleight of hand, little respect for taxpayers, embarrassment, insult, shameful, back door, dismal and cannibal,” that makes it very difficult to have a respectful dialogue with a Member that is conducting himself like that.
Let’s just stick to the issue. The issue is we are negotiating a contract with Det’on Cho Corporation, the business arm of the Yellowknives Dene and Chief Drygeese territory.
Mr. Speaker, I take very seriously the allegations that we are insulting the public’s intelligence, that we are doing things nefariously. Mr. Speaker, we are not. We are being as transparent and open as we possibly can with Members of this House. Thank you.
