Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I do agree with the Member that communication has been difficult over the last few months. Once COVID-19 hit, lots of us could not be -- usually, we are in the House all the time. There were workplace things that had to be done. There were a lot of issues that came up. Communication is one of the hallmarks of consensus government. Before the pandemic hit, it was common to see Ministers and Members in the House on a regular basis, and both sides of the House would walk the floor and talk to Ministers or MLAs, not only about issues but just building that relationship and sometimes just going for lunch. Those things are gone, Mr. Speaker, since COVID-19, and so, like I said, we need to learn from the lessons that we have experienced over the last few months.

Communications, we are focused on our health and safety, and we kept trying to do the communications through normal processes, so we offered our list of briefings to committee all the time, not even thinking that committee did not have the opportunity to gather as much, just like we were. We realize that was a mistake, so how we are working on it going forward is: we are going to provide more briefings, written briefings, to standing committees in advance, not just waiting to say, "Can we present to you?" We will still give standing committees the opportunities to look at them and decide if they want a briefing on it or not, but we have to recognize that we are not always going to be in the House now.

I do say that we do have an open-door policy within the GNWT. A lot of Members phone me in the evenings. Pick up your phone if you need something. Give me a call. We can do virtual communications, as well, whatever it means. Life has changed for all of us, and I do not know when it's going to go back, so we have an obligation, all of us, to try to make sure that we are still reaching out to each other by the means that we have available.
