Political Decisions Of Government  In the past, Mr. Speaker, I have heard many comments from Members, that are now Ministers, when they were on this side of the House. Now they are in positions where they can affect some of these decisions. So I think now is the time for them to practice what they used to preach

Political Decisions Of Government  Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to speak about decisions that are made by this government. Some decisions, Mr. Speaker, that are made seem to be purely political, and don't make much sense even to a newcomer to this Assembly like myself. Decisions, Mr. Speake

Question 150-15(4): Upgrade Of Highway No. 8  Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thank you, Mr. Minister. If the chipsealing is going to be a problem, we will settle for dust control.

Question 150-15(4): Upgrade Of Highway No. 8  Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thanks to the Minister for the update.

Condition Of The Dempster Highway  I have been hearing many complaints from people about the highway, and having the opportunity to travel that highway since 1984, this is the worst that I have ever seen it. It is worse than a goat trail. Many experienced drivers have told me that they travel this highway all th

Condition Of The Dempster Highway  Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, today I had a good statement and some questions, but then I just realized that the Minister of Education, Culture and Employment wasn't here, so I will have to save those until Friday.

Item 19: Consideration In Committee Of The Whole On Bills And Other Matters  Thank you, Madam Chair. When we first decided to go on this pre-budget consultation tour, I wasn't quite sure what to expect.

Item 5: Recognition Of Visitors In The Gallery  Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to recognize my son, Ryan, and my wife, Judy, who are visiting from Inuvik.
