Mr. Speaker, the honourable Member will appreciate that the Crown office does not report to me and therefore I am not briefed on the situation. However, I will, through my department, attempt to find out the situation, and I will report back to the House, as quickly as I can, the answer to the Member's question.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. A question to the Government Leader. In responding to a number of questions regarding the matter of Strength at Two Levels, you indicated that there were a number of additional documents and reports considered in developing the position that was put forward by the government. I am asking if the Government Leader could make available those particular documents to the Members of this House.

Mr. Speaker, I would like to direct my question to the Minister of Justice with regard to Personnel. I understand that the chief crown counsel is going to be leaving his post here in the NWT to take on a post in Ottawa regarding aboriginal justice. Is this correct?

Mr. Patterson. This is not within the Minister's direct responsibility, but if the Minister would like to respond to the best of his ability.

Mr. Speaker, I know that it is true that the chief crown counsel in the NWT will be leaving his present position next month. I am not precisely sure of the new responsibilities, but I think the Member is generally correct.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question for the Minister of Justice. In December I asked the Minister of Justice the status of the family law review committee, and he indicated that once this report was compiled, that it would be presented to him and the Minister of Social Services. Can he indicate to this House whether this report has been presented to the Minister of Social Services and himself?

Mr. Speaker, I would like to also advise the Minister that I had asked a written question in regard to it, and in the same reply in December he stated to me that he would provide me with a response to the written question. So when will the Minister provide the House with the response to the written question?

Mr. Speaker, you will correct me if my interpretation of the rules is wrong, but I understood that when a written question is responded to after the session is concluded, that the procedure is to send the response directly to the Member and it would not necessarily go to the House. Mr. Speaker, my best recollection is that I did a written response to that written question directly to the Member, in care of the Clerk. So if she has not received it, it is not because it was not sent.

My understanding of how we deal with written questions is that after a session has prorogued essentially the issue is dead and the Minister, as a courtesy, sends the response to the Member. Oral questions. Mrs. Marie-Jewell.

Question O161-12(2): Decision To Defer Construction Of Office/warehouse Complex, Lac La Martre
Item 5: Oral Questions

Henry Zoe North Slave
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question will be directed to the Minister of Renewable Resources. On February 18th the Minister provided a response to my question I asked about the construction of an office complex in Lac la Martre. Essentially the Minister stated that this project had been deferred because of an expenditure management program that was implemented by the government. However, the decision to defer the project was not made by the department until November 29th and not confirmed by FMB until late December, about the 20th or 24th. Since that appropriation was approved last spring, it was anticipated that the project would have gone ahead last summer. Perhaps the Minister could explain to me why the tender for this project was not let and construction not completed before the decision to defer this project was made.
