Recognizing that subsection 5(e) of the Territorial Hospital Insurance Services Act gives the Minister the authority to ensure that adequate standards are maintained in hospitals, is it the Minister's position that these officials should have advised him directly that standards pertaining to surgical procedures used for abortion had been drawn into question by complaints from the Status of Women Council? Should they?

Mr. Speaker, I have no way of knowing or ascertaining what took place in the conversation between a doctor and the executive director of the Status of Women Council, and what the conclusion of that conversation may have been. Therefore, I would have no way of knowing whether or not the doctor should have conveyed anything to me as a result of that alleged conversation that may have taken place.

I never got an answer to my question. I asked if it is the Minister's position that his officials, who were advised of the problem by the executive director of the Status of Women Council, should have advised him directly. Are his officials with holding information from him?

Mr. Speaker, if a hypothetical question is being placed, is it the Speaker who determines whether the question is in order or out of order?

Mr. Speaker, whenever a point of order is to be raised in this House, I believe it is the Member's obligation to indicate that it is going to be a point of order, not to be rudely interrupted into the process without advising this House.

I made no ruling on the question; that is correct. I want to remind all Members that a Minister, in response to an oral question, has the right to take a question as notice. I thought, in this particular case, that this particular question was, in fact, in order. Mr. Whitford.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to direct a question to the Minister of Health. Is the Minister aware, or was he made aware by his officials or the director of the Inuvik Regional Hospital, that there was a period of time
in which there was no resident doctor in the Inuvik Regional Hospital or in the community?
