	MLA Kurt Tibbetts: Leadership in Difficult Times (Part Two)
		Kurt Tibbetts has always professed a fundamental belief in what he calls "the politics of inclusion" and the new arrangement in government has forced many people to take a more active interest in the affairs of their country instead of sitting back and idly hoping the right decisions will be made.

		Tibbetts also claims that efforts were made to hold inclusive meetings but scheduling conflicts routinely arose making it impossible for all members to assemble on a regular basis.
