Mr. Speaker, in the opening comments by the member who just spoke there were some statements regarding the Reform's concerns about the ability of the Council of Yukon Indians to designate its representatives to this board.
On the contrary, we have no concerns about its ability to designate representatives. Our concern, as expressed in my speech, related to and focused on the minister's ability to make this into a hot bed of patronage and to set up a divisiveness and other turf wars that are of major concern to us.
I wanted to set the record straight on that and ensure there was nothing on the record that would indicate we agreed in any way with those statements.
