I will explain to the Members who just came in that I am finishing answering a question from the Honourable Jeannie Marie-Jewell. I am responding to number eight of her written questions.
In reporting matters to the Government Leader, the arrangement that was made most recently when I met with the Premier's office was to send a copy of all my correspondence to the official languages unit that is now within the Premier's office, and I have been doing that. Prior to that, because we had not established guidelines for my reporting relationship with the G.N.W.T. for ensuring that there was some arrangement to follow up on requests for information and clarification of issues that I address to them, I did not always send a letter to the Government Leader's office on inquiries that I was doing.
However, I have addressed 35 letters to the Government Leader's office with regard to complaints and inquiries. Some of the things that I dealt with were done by telephone, so I do not have letters on those. Some of them were resolved by just making a telephone inquiry and providing the information to people. The ones that required a significant amount of information or written replies are the ones that I have addressed. I am waiting for a number of replies on those issues.
When I looked at this section, I mentioned yesterday that I have distinguished between large and small investigations, and I interpreted this section to be investigations which are of a more serious or a more detailed nature. Those are the ones that I have sent letters on and as I said just recently, since we have established this arrangement, I started sending copies to the Government Leader's office on everything.
I think that concludes the remarks that I can make with regard to the written question from the honourable Member.
