Well, Mr. Speaker, certainly it is clear that when the terms of reference call for four or five doctors, and there only ended up being two, the terms of reference were altered. I would not use the word violated, Mr. Speaker, because that implies that they were altered improperly. I think the information the Member is seeking is how the terms of reference were adjusted. If they were adjusted by an officer authorized by the Fort Smith Health Centre Board of Directors, then it would have been quite proper that the final details of the inquiry were amended. That is the issue, Mr. Speaker, so I would say to the honourable Member the terms of reference were adjusted, but whether that was proper or improper is a technical and legal question on which I expect to provide the proper answer as promptly as possible. Thank you.
