Mr. Speaker, could I ask the Minister of Health how he could assure the public that witness appearing before the board of inquiry, in fact, are liable for their evidence.

Thank you. Mr. Patterson.

That is a rather sophisticated legal question, Mr. Speaker. I will take the question as notice. Thank you.

Thank you. Item 6, oral questions. The Member for Thebacha.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker, my question is for the Minister of Health. Mr. Speaker, the Minister has established a board of inquiry under the Medical Profession Act to review a report that was completed earlier by representatives of the Saskatchewan College of Physicians and Surgeons.

I have reviewed the terms of references that were established for the Saskatchewan doctors who went through the health centre. The terms of reference stated that the committee will be comprised of at least four to five members as selected by the Saskatchewan College of Physicians and Surgeons.

Will the Ministers confirm in this House, that there were not four or five Saskatchewan doctors involved in this review, but rather only two doctors. Thank you.

Thank you. Mr. Patterson.

I will take this question as notice, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.

Thank you, that Mr. Patterson will take that question as notice. Item 6, oral questions. Mr. Todd.

Madam Premier.

Mr. Speaker, yes.

Supplementary, Mr. Todd.

Thank you. Can the Government Leader provide this House with what our full financial obligation is associated with the special settlement arrangements.

Thank you. Madam Premier.

Mr. Speaker, if I have no legal obligations and it is clear to provide that information, I will do so. Thank you.

Thank you. Item 6, oral questions. Mr. Dent.

Thank you. Mr. Kakfwi.

Thank you. The Minister will take that question as notice. Item 6, oral questions. Mr. Nerysoo.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to ask the honourable Member, the Minister responsible for Health, whether or not he could table the report of Saskatchewan College of Physicians and Surgeons, since he referred it to that particular matter. We do not as Members have that particular document.

Thank you. Mr. Patterson.

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.

Supplementary, Mr. Nerysoo.
