Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister of Health. Yesterday, the Minister tabled the Abortion Review Services Committee Report. The committee reviewed abortion services and procedures at the Stanton Yellowknife Hospital. The Minister commented that the committee did not refer any matter for specific investigation by a professional licensing or other disciplinary body because it did not find professional malpractice. My question to the Minister is, can the Minister confirm, in this House and to members of the public, that not withstanding the finding of the review committee, that it is the right of any woman who considers she has been subject to professional malpractice to bring civil action against the doctor concerned as well as against the Government of the Northwest Territories?
