I’m not sure it’s worth questioning
anymore. The
information will come. We all know…
What do we have? We have five days left in the Assembly. I’m sure it will show up on my desk on October 9th . It’s really disappointing. To say that it
travels to Behchoko now from three to five days a week to at least twice a month, that tells me… It just doesn’t tell me it’s needed. I think I’d like to move a motion to delete it. I think that this is a super-sized vehicle this department and this section doesn’t need. If they need one, keep one in your fleet but you don’t need two super-sized suburbans sitting there most of the time gathering dust. They are some of the most expensive vehicles to drive anyway. Anybody who’s got one will tell you that you get almost zero gas mileage out of that thing, so we’re not only buying a super-sized vehicle, we are buying an inefficient one. If it’s that important, we should be driving them in a big bus. I’m not suggesting buying a school bus, but I am suggesting we find a different way to do this business. It wouldn’t be unrealistic, Mr. Chairman. That’s the fact. I’ll leave it at this: I think it’s a terrible waste. I would prefer a policy that forces us down to at least one vehicle and a small Escape. I can tell you that even delivering summons, little pieces of paper, they don’t need something more than a Toyota eco car or something like that to do those particular jobs. This is just a terrible expense. The reason it continues is because it’s continued. People got used to a big vehicle and the enjoyment of it. That’s where I will leave it. They like the big car because they want to be important, I guess.
