Mr. Speaker, since I advised the Minister of Social Services that three particular workers, Ann Enge, Priscilla Hamann and Marjorie Sakundiak, had acted in a very unprofessional and unethical way in releasing documents, I would like to ask the Minister of Personnel whether he will consider taking steps in respect to looking at the releasing of the documents and why the conduct of work ethics was not used by these particular workers, in particular, the breach of confidential information. Will the Minister of Personnel advise this House on whether steps will be taken by labour relations to avoid the release of confidential information of this sort in the future by civil servants?

I just want to make the House aware of the fact that I am having a little problem with the question because some of the information contained in the question may not be in the general knowledge of all Members, and there are some inferences contained within the question. So I will ask if the Minister would like to respond to the question, keeping in mind I am having a little bit of difficulty with it. Mr. Kakfwi.

Mr. Speaker, during the summer, as a Member of the last cabinet I was a little involved and interested in the goings on by the media and the union and all the politicking that went on at the expense of certain individuals. I know at the time I had looked at whether or not certain staff may or may not be acting properly in the course of their jobs. It was my view at the time that nothing that was brought to my attention warranted any action on the part of government. I left it at that and there is nothing to suggest it should be revisited at this time.
