Thank you, Mr. Speaker. This is to the Minister responsible for Justice in each and every community in the NWT. On December 8, 1991, Clem Sassie died in Fort Liard after being treated for a superficial stab wound and mild hypothermia at the local health centre. Would the Minister of Justice investigate this death and advise:
1) As to the results of the coroner's investigation which must be conducted under the Coroners Act;
2) As to whether the Minister is prepared to recommend that an inquest be held by the chief coroner or a judge into the circumstances surrounding Mr. Sassie's death pursuant to section 24(1) of the Coroners Act;
3) If the Minister is not prepared to order an inquest, why not? Mahsi.
