Mr. Speaker, I am really appalled and astounded that a Minister of this government, when we question, basically states that they do not have the authority to tell the doctors what to do, in their response. I cannot indicate how disappointed I am in hearing that type of remark, The Minister of this government has a statutory obligation to ensure that medical procedures that are maintained or are used in the Territories are acceptable to people of the North.

Therefore, I would like to ask the Minister of Health, since he indicated in this House that a directive to relieve pain would be given to women that abortions are performed on, has he produced this directive?
