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.

Question O733-12(2): Pilot Project On Victims Of Crime
Item 6: Oral Questions

Charles Dent Yellowknife Frame Lake
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have a question for the Minister of Justice. The Minister may recall that on March 24 and 25 of this year, I asked his predecessor a number of questions about a Department of Justice and R.C.M.P. pilot project, which assists victims of crime to make a victims' impact statement for the courts.
This pilot project was announced on July 3, 1991 and was to be tested in nine N.W.T. communities. I am concerned, because of the lengthy evaluation period established by the previous Minister, that residents of communities not targeted to participate in the pilot project are being denied access to a very valuable victims service.
Mr. Speaker, the question is, recognizing that the former Minister of Justice made a commitment on March 25 of this year to complete an earlier evaluation than had been planned initially, can the new Minister of Justice indicate whether his departmental officials have now completed their assessment of this program?

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.

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.
