The questions are: How many out-of-court settlements for lawsuits in which the GNWT has been a defendant have been negotiated since October 1991 and can the Minister provide a list detailing the plaintiffs, the amounts of the settlements and the grounds for the lawsuits? How many
current, active court cases is the GNWT involved in as a defendant and what are the grounds and the amounts of the plaintiffs' claims? At what stage is each court case involving the GNWT as a defendant? Finally, will the Minister provide me with an assessment of which cases are likely to proceed to trial and which are likely to settle, and for these cases that are likely to settle, can the Minister provide me with the total dollar exposure to the GNWT as a result of these possible settlements?
