Mr. Speaker, to the member for Fraser Valley East I say I do not disagree with a lot of things that were said. However I do have some areas I would like clarified. The member talked about improved attitude and changes of direction.
When we investigate why the attitudes are not good, if we take that premise, it is fair enough to say that sometimes our public servants have portrayed that attitude. There has been a past history from the House that has really fostered that and I get fairly concerned when the member talks about contracts not being renewed. I would hope that would not be the sledge hammer he would be attempting to use in this new government. That is really a wrong direction. It goes back to when the Conservatives talked about issuing all of our public servants running shoes if they did not like the way things were done. That is really wrong.
It is very important that we in some way start to change direction, change attitudes, talk about a monitoring program. That would be a good thing; also putting a strong strategic plan in place. I believe that we are part of that process.
I wonder if I could have a bit of clarification on the contract renewal.
