Your question is irrelevant. When the ndp was bringing in all kind of expats for the higher positions, nobody wasn't asking this question, and those same expats, we the vislanders had to turn around and train them. whether kelly has experience or not, i will and can learn just like the darn expats do when we train them too. i rest my case here.
Thank you Premier
