Mr. Speaker, since the negotiations have started, from a concession perspective, we have taken sick leave for current employees off the table

I will continue to live up to that commitment because this is all about making it a better place, from a health care perspective, from an educational perspective and from a social perspective.

The other thing, from a business attraction perspective, the single, most important thing I did from the business side was to meet with these ambassadors to discuss business opportunities

The other thing, of course, is just from an economic perspective.

From a personal perspective, I have to be consistent. I cannot stand in this House and be inconsistent from what I advocated on that side of the House.

We have come out and we have indicated exactly what we wanted from an equity perspective.

As well, from a federal-provincial perspective, the federal minister and the provincial minister have a joint ministers’ working committee which has been in place for a couple of months

From a transaction perspective

From your perspective, Sir, I sincerely apologize.

As well, from an infrastructure perspective, we are probably spending about half of our infrastructure capital on hospitals and schools

I can tell you from this government’s perspective

The legal point was a moot point because, in fact, it was just a question of whether, from an ethical perspective and a practical perspective

I can tell you, though, that from my personal perspective, and from the perspective of the members of Cabinet, members of government, caucus members, this is a very serious matter to us.

from the perspective of what was transpiring at that time

The oil price is fixed from a Memorandum of Agreement perspective.

Now, from a debt-planning perspective, how can we be expected to plan when the price of oil varies dramatically?

From the Budget document perspective, since we have come into office the deficits have gone down.

The other thing, just from a general perspective -

Mr. Speaker, in addition to everything else that we have done for health care in the Province, whether it is from an information technology perspective

from a perspective of a change of attitude, I mean we have put $79 million on the table, a significant offer, a significant amount of money.

As well, we are dealing with a heavy crude oil out there, so from a fishing perspective, there is less likelihood that it would affect the fishery

From a perspective of monitoring this, we are monitoring it very, very closely.
