I have one final supplementary, Mr. Speaker. This government does handle all the contracts for the R.C.M.P. I would like to ask whether this government or the Department of Justice have looked at other forums in which complaints could be launched against the R.C.M.P.?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the Public Accounts Committee was concerned that many residents of the Northwest Territories are not aware of their rights and obligations within the legal aid system. In our committee report 13, the standing committee recommended that a code of rights be drawn up and translated into all official languages. Can the Minister indicate whether this code of rights has been completed and is ready for tabling in the House?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is directed to the Minister responsible for the N.W.T. Power Corporation. Mr. Speaker, does the corporation have a specific model for research in development planning? If so, can the Minister provide us with a copy? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I would like to pose this question to the Government Leader. The last two Ministers that have visited me in my constituency have both resigned, so that tells me there is a lot of concern.
---Laughter
Perhaps I should ask the Members here which one should be invited next.

I would like to ask the Government Leader how and when the selection of the new Minister will take place. Thank you.

Henry Zoe North Slave
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I have a question for the Minister of Justice again. This is with regard to legal aid. Concern was expressed in the Auditor General's report and also in our standing committee reports. Mr. Speaker, the Minister of Justice has been aware of the problems identified by the Auditor General for almost a year. He has been aware of our standing committee's concern in this area since last June. Why has he not taken steps to make sure that there will be a more serious attempt to implement the recommendations about the legal aid system? Why has he not done anything aggressively to date? All of the questions I have asked today, he took as notice. What is the Minister doing?

Mr. Speaker, it should be obvious to everyone in the House, particularly the Member, that I am not up to date on this particular issue. If he had given me some notice we would have had a friendly exchange of information today. I have taken most of them as notice, because I do not want to chance...

Are you going to let me answer? I will answer you. If you had given me notice, I would have given you full information on all the questions you asked. I did not say any of them were not acted upon. I just said that they are not all completed. I cannot rattle off the top of my head everything that is being done. I do not want to give you an incomplete answer. I want to give you a full up-to-date answer. So take it as notice and I will give you a complete answer when I have the information and am able to give it to you.

If I could remind Members that our rules allow a Minister to take a question as notice and the Minister is well within his rights to do that. Item 5, Oral Questions. New question, Mr. Zoe.
