Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I want to make it clear that it is not Dr. Kinloch that is going to coordinate this. Mr. Speaker, I am trying to explain that what I am doing here is -- in the interim and until the independent, outside individual can be brought onto this matter -- explain that someone will be available. It does not have to be Dr. Kinloch -if the Member would like to give me some suggestions. I tried to assure the Member earlier that if there are other suggestions -- this is only to make it easier for the public to be able to -- while the information is news and while the information is of concern now -- have somebody to contact. Dr. Kinloch is not going to be co-ordinating the review. This is going to be done by an independent individual. It is merely to have a point of contact within the department that the public can get hold of to express a concern. They can do this through the Status of Women Council or through their ordinary Member. They can call me. But, I was only trying to be helpful in suggesting a name. If there is any disagreement by Members as to whom I have chosen, we could deal with that. I want to assure you that it is not Dr. Kinloch who is going to co-ordinate the review. He will cease to be involved in it as soon as the independent individual is selected to do the review. It is only as a contact point. The review by an outside agency will be totally independent of Stanton Hospital Board members and totally independent of all medical people here in the Territories, as I understand it, Mr. Speaker.
