Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Government Leader. I received a letter from Mr. Whit Fraser, the chairman of the board of the polar commission, expressing his concerns about statements that are being made in this House about the mandate of the polar science commission. He states, "Our mandate instructs us to promote northern institutions and issues and provide information to the Government of Canada, either in the way of recommendations or proposed policy statements." So my question to the Premier is this, since we are so pleased with this, from the report by Mr. Bailey, is she prepared to accept that the polar commission makes policy recommendations to the federal government as to what should happen in her jurisdiction?
