Thank you, Mr. Chair. I too want to just express my appreciation I guess in the working relationship that I developed with Cabinet, and especially the Premier and the Minister of Health, and everyone. There has been times -- there will be times when we don't agree but we have to leave that at the door. And I think that the working relationship that I established with Cabinet is a good one. And some of the Ministers are more open than others, and that's always the case anyways in any political democracy.

I really would stress, though, that we are a consensus government, and many times I feel that consensus is not working because I feel that a lot of the decisions are made at your level and we either take it or leave it kind of thing. And I'm just going to be very open about that because, you know, in the last few days here, I haven't been very happy about a couple things, and hopefully we'd be able to work through those and come out with a positive response because I feel that, you know, many times people see things through a very narrow tunnel instead of looking at the whole picture. And the whole picture shows something different many times. And with the experience that I bring to this floor, with all the business experience and leadership experience, it's not always everything that has to fit in that little box. And -- you know, and I've been able to work through most of my issues, and hopefully -- I only have two small issues, and if I'm able to work through those two small issues I will be very happy about that.

But overall the mandate is being met and like I said, I've had excellent working relationships with the majority of Cabinet, and I just want to thank you for that because I think Cabinet, you can go down the hall very easily and talk to anyone, and I don't know if that happened in the past, whether you agree with them or not, but it's okay. And with that, I want to thank you.
