Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask the Minister if he would undertake to provide me, then, with that information so that I can see the impact on the city of Yellowknife if those positions are transferred.

Mr. Speaker, I think what has been talked about is a transfer of responsibility from Government Services to the Power Corporation. I do not think there has been any discussion, sir, of a physical move of bodies from one community to another. It is not nearly in that stage. I would undertake to provide to the Member, though, the number of people who are concerned with the POL that reside in Yellowknife at the present time, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to direct my question to the Minister of Health. He is a descendent of the aboriginal people, and aboriginal people have principles regarding honesty and openness, both on the part of the healers and the persons being helped. However, Mr. Speaker, I have trouble relating to the principle on a recent situation in which a dentist with AIDS treated residents of the Northwest Territories without telling them that he had the disease. Many Northerners, I am sure, think that if a dentist has a communicable disease, his patients should be told about it so that they can make an informed decision about whether or not to seek treatment elsewhere.
Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask the Minister if he would advise the House whether it is possible for regional health boards to include a clause in their contractual agreements with dental service providers which requires a practitioner with HIV or AIDS to inform his or her patients.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question for the Minister responsible for Safety and Public Services. Mr. Speaker, in December the Minister indicated that he had set up, under the auspices of the Mining Safety Act, a committee that will have an independent chairman to address the Mining Safety Act. Has the Minister, to date, appointed an independent chairman to facilitate this committee? Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, in consulting with various parties who are vitally interested in new and improved mine safety legislation, I have encountered strong opposition to the composition of the committee as I announced it in this Legislature. This opposition, Mr. Speaker, is strong enough and significant enough that it could threaten the effectiveness of the committee and the willingness of all parties to participate in that committee. Mr. Speaker, the reason the committee has not yet been struck is not from want of effort, but it is because I am still trying to resolve the fundamental objections that have been expressed from some quarters about the composition of the committee. Thank you.
