Mr. Speaker, on July 15 of this year, Dr. Uma Viswalingam requested an injunction to prevent release of the college's report. That matter was dealt with by the court, and an appeal from the lower court's decision was heard in the Supreme Court of the Northwest Territories on August 10, 1992.
The appeal has been adjourned without a certain date of return and the Supreme Court file has been sealed. I believe, Mr. Speaker, that since the matter is before the courts and since the issue is before the courts, I must not release it. Secondly, Mr. Speaker, I should forthrightly tell the Honourable Member that the report contains information about the treatment of certain patients and also other sensitive matters. I would also believe that it is not in the public interest to reveal such sensitive matters relating to patient physician privilege. Thank you.
