Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question for the Government Leader. Mr. Speaker, back in December before we concluded our session, we did indicate that the Beatty report, or the Strength at Two Levels report done by Mr. Beatty, was not discussed in committee of the whole to develop ideas or to formulate a plan, and also Members were not allowed to discuss this report with the government as to how we intend to address our concerns on it. Mr. Speaker, since the government has formulated a working document, I would like to ask the Government Leader, when is the intention of the government to allow participation of the ordinary Members in formulating this document that has since been developed? Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, if my memory serves me correctly, I believe the Strength at Two Levels document was tabled at the last session and, to my recollection, was moved into committee of the whole but was not discussed, at the choice of the Members here. As I said in my presentation today, I will be tabling the document today. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Just rechecking Hansard, I recall that the process for discussion was not taken during committee of the whole. These are basically the comments that I made at the time, and I quote: "Since the government has agreed to consider allowing the three ordinary Members on the implementation team for the Beatty report, as a result of our motion that we passed yesterday, the Members being selected were Jim Antoine, James Arvaluk and Fred Koe. As an ordinary Member caucus we had decided that we will conclude the debate on the 'Strength at Two Levels' and both of the Ministers statements and we will be willing to introduce 'Strength at Two Levels' back into the February session."
Knowing that we have not reintroduced it and this implementation plan is in place, and there were three Members that were suggested to help the government develop this plan, we would like to know when the three Members will be able to participate in how this report is going to be addressed. Thank you.

Thank you. Mr. Speaker, it appears there is a process to be developed, but it appears from the results of the Minister's statement today that there have been some significant suggestions put forth in reshaping northern government, and basically I would like to ask the same question. When will the government allow participation from the ordinary Members, and how do they feel that our ideas will come into reshaping northern government? Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, I would hope that before the end of this session we will set up a team on how the MLAs will be working with us to tap into the process that we are proposing at this time. I would hope that we have that set up before the end of this session. Thank you.

Question O82-12(2): Protection Of The Public Against Health Practitioners With Communicable Diseases
Item 5: Oral Questions
Page 66
John Todd Keewatin Central
My question is to the Minister of Health. Mr. Speaker, I would ask about the matter related to Dr. Carmichael's dentistry practice in the Keewatin. I am sure we would all agree, Mr. Speaker, that it is important to ensure that the safeguards which exist in our legislation, and that the policies and procedures followed by the Department of Health, are sufficient to protect the public against the spread of communicable diseases. Although all reasonable evidence suggests that there is a low risk that health practitioners can infect their patients with the HIV condition, I am concerned with some aspects of the department's response to this situation. In section 28(d) of the Manitoba Public Health Act, it allows regulations to be made which require anyone in Manitoba with certain communicable diseases, including AIDS, to report the disease to the province's chief medical health officer. I am assuming that happened in Dr. Carmichael's case.
My question to the Minister is, did the chief medical health officer for the Province of Manitoba advise her counterpart in this jurisdiction of Dr. Carmichael's condition?

Mr. Speaker, there are a number of things going on in the Baffin fishery at the present time. I think we would like to see a stabilization of these situations before we decide on the increased processing capability in Pangnirtung. Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, in 1991, the quota for in-shore fisheries was 700,000 pounds. Last year, 500,000 pounds were processed. This year's quota has been doubled from 1990. When do you plan to make the extension to the fish processing plant in Pangnirtung?
