Mike was a small time lawyer before getting elected awhile back. He tries to have a sense of humour, and in small bunches he comes along pretty well. But like the Health Minister, they speak for government not themselves and they best figure that out pretty quick. Mike has a bit of a issue here in the Victoria area. Some rich athlete is building some really expensive places and is rather a blunt speaker. Seems a local band wasn't consulted about some cave in the area. The supreme Court of Canada has set the guidelines for consultation. at first blush the developer may have not covered all the bases. so a protest has begun and DeJong is in the middle of it. That particular band has been in the treaty process for years as part of the Temex treaty group.Gordo wants treaties. The new relationship with Indians is hitting a bad patch. If DeJong's ministry is becoming dysfunctional, well let's not blame the worker.
