AnswerView source ↗
I thank Hon Norman Moore for some notice of the question. Hon Norman Moore : I didn’t give you any notice at all. Hon KIM CHANCE : I actually have it in writing. Hon Norman Moore : That question? Hon KIM CHANCE : Yes. Hon Norman Moore : I just wrote it. It must be some sort of mental telepathy. Hon KIM CHANCE : I have it in writing, dated 21 September. I actually thought I had answered it, in any case. Hon Norman Moore : No, that is the question I asked last time. I am asking you now whether you have done anything about it. Hon KIM CHANCE : Although the answer which was prepared for me and which I have with me was true as of 21 September, it is no longer true. Therefore, I will have to answer it without notice anyway. (1)-(3) Yes, I have conveyed the view of the house to the Premier. Hon Norman Moore : The unanimous resolution of the house. Hon KIM CHANCE : The Premier’s office has also been advised of the motion, which, as I recall, while carried without division, was not a unanimous decision. Hon Norman Moore : It certainly was a unanimous decision. Hon KIM CHANCE : It was not. Hon Norman Moore : Your side supported it, and the minister sitting next to you said yes, they supported it. Hon KIM CHANCE : Let us not argue about that. A unanimous decision is one that is carried with the support of all members. Anyway, let us not argue about semantics. Several members interjected. The PRESIDENT : Order, members! The Leader of the House wants to answer the question. Hon KIM CHANCE : I do, Mr President. The PRESIDENT : I think he is about to get around to answering the question, and I am aware that at least one other member wants to ask a question. Hon KIM CHANCE : I have now related the view of the house to the Premier and have on another occasion discussed it with the Premier in some detail. The Premier was accommodating of the view that I expressed to him. However, I cannot go any further than that. I was happy with the discussion that I had with the Premier.

Hon KIM CHANCE replied: I thank Hon Norman Moore for some notice of the question. Hon Norman Moore : I didn’t give you any notice at all. Hon KIM CHANCE : I actually have it in writing. Hon Norman Moore : That question? Hon KIM CHANCE : Yes. Hon Norman Moore : I just wrote it. It must be some sort of mental telepathy. Hon KIM CHANCE : I have it in writing, dated 21 September. I actually thought I had answered it, in any case. Hon Norman Moore : No, that is the question I asked last time. I am asking you now whether you have done anything about it. Hon KIM CHANCE : Although the answer which was prepared for me and which I have with me was true as of 21 September, it is no longer true. Therefore, I will have to answer it without notice anyway. (1)-(3) Yes, I have conveyed the view of the house to the Premier. Hon Norman Moore : The unanimous resolution of the house. Hon KIM CHANCE : The Premier’s office has also been advised of the motion, which, as I recall, while carried without division, was not a unanimous decision. Hon Norman Moore : It certainly was a unanimous decision. Hon KIM CHANCE : It was not. Hon Norman Moore : Your side supported it, and the minister sitting next to you said yes, they supported it. Hon KIM CHANCE : Let us not argue about that. A unanimous decision is one that is carried with the support of all members. Anyway, let us not argue about semantics. Several members interjected. The PRESIDENT : Order, members! The Leader of the House wants to answer the question. Hon KIM CHANCE : I do, Mr President. The PRESIDENT : I think he is about to get around to answering the question, and I am aware that at least one other member wants to ask a question. Hon KIM CHANCE : I have now related the view of the house to the Premier and have on another occasion discussed it with the Premier in some detail. The Premier was accommodating of the view that I expressed to him. However, I cannot go any further than that. I was happy with the discussion that I had with the Premier.
