Mr. Speaker, with the greatest respect to the Member, her assertion is not correct. I think that the inquiry clearly includes an examination of the role, and responsibility, of the Minister of Health. For example, section 4.7 refers to a review and critical analysis of the events and process leading to the resignation of the board of management. The appointment of the public administrator and the establishment of this board of inquiry, all involved the Minister of Health.

I think it is certainly very clearly contemplated that the role of the Minister of Health in those events, will be examined by the board. Furthermore, Mr. Speaker, the board of inquiry looks at the board of health in relation to legislation of the Northwest Territories that includes the legislation which establishes the Department of Health and spells out the role of the Minister.

All of those statutes and regulations of the Northwest Territories relating to health are clearly within the mandate of the board of inquiry, and will clearly be available for examination. As I say, Mr. Speaker, I think that the terms have a very broad range and I certainly do not expect, as Minister of Health, that I will escape scrutiny under these terms of reference. Thank you.
