Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I know it's under that act, but my question is who under the act has the authority to take this action?

Mahsi, Mr. Speaker. If it's the Minister's responsibility and authority, can the Government Leader inform this House as to who made the decision to remove the mayor,
council, town administrator and replace them with a public administrator in Iqaluit?

Mr. Speaker, the decision and the option chosen was by the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs, who sought the advice of Cabinet. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. With respect to this particular issue on the decision made by the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs, my question would be to the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs. The decision to terminate the town council of Iqaluit, and the town administrator, was that the decision of the Minister of Municipal Affairs or was that the decision of the Cabinet? Thank you.

The Minister indicated that the decision was made on the advice of Cabinet. The decision was made by whom on the advice of Cabinet? Can the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs please indicate that to this House? Thank you.

Mr. Speaker, initially I was concerned with the process used of not consulting the Member, but now I'm more concerned as a Member because I seem to be getting conflicting information from that side of the House. Earlier this afternoon -- and I was listening with interest to this particular debate, Mr. Speaker -- the Minister indicated that this decision was made by Cabinet. He now indicates that the decision was made by himself on the advice of Cabinet. I would like to ask the Minister, can he correct, for the record, who made the decision, the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs or the Cabinet. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Under the Cities, Towns and Villages Act, the Minister has the authority to declare or order a municipal corporation to be under the control of a municipal administrator. For the purpose of the act, I as a Minister had to say I made the decision. What actually happened doesn't necessarily...It's not my decision alone. It's Cabinet's decision to do what the act says. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Mr. Speaker, since it's my final supplementary and I haven't been able to get a clear answer from the Minister, I'd like to ask -- and my questions are again to the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs -- who is responsible for making the decision to terminate the town council of Iqaluit, and who is responsible for this particular decision that was done on the advice of Cabinet? Was it the Minister or was it the Cabinet? Thank you.
