Thank you, Mr. Chair.
As I pointed out earlier, it was very clear from the recent election that the public very vocally expressed a need for change, and one of them was that this government has to act in a very transparent manner. We heard that very loud and clear with the expression of 11 new candidates that were elected to the Legislature here. In my mind, the motion does not commit any dollars. It essentially puts forth the work to ensure that at least the legislative framework would be detailed out and the public process to ensure that the public does have input in terms of understanding how this concept of the ombudsman would work. At the same time, there has been some errors in terms of making this work. It's not totally committing at least half a million dollars to one position. I think there's been some suggestions of workable scenarios. I think perhaps we need to consider those scenarios within you know the statutory offices that we have within the Legislative Assembly and we could make it work. For those reasons, I stand in support of this and encourage my colleagues to also support this motion. Mr. Chair, I also seek a recorded vote. Mahsi.
