But, Mr. Chairman, that's my point. It doesn't include MLAs. Part 3(2), a to e, talks about existing procedures. In part b, it talks about access normally available to the public; it talks about information available in part to legal proceedings in part c, it talks about not affecting the powers of a court to compel a witness; it talks about not prohibiting the storage or transfer or destruction of records, but it does not say that it doesn't limit the powers and privileges of an MLA.
I was hoping to see it in there. The Minister tells me it is in there, but I don't see it. I don't think we come under the category of processes normally available to the public. I'm talking about the privileges that we have, as Members of the Legislative Assembly, and as committee Members, which are greater than those of an ordinary citizen and include, in the case of committees, the power to compel government bureaucrats and Ministers to account before those committees, particularly in areas of accounts with the Standing Committee on Public Accounts.
With respect, I don't see that protection there. I was hoping it might be there. If it is not there, the Minister is right, I wonder whether it should be put in there. Because, frankly, I don't want to stand up in question period and be told, well, I'm sorry, I can't answer this question because it is an exception under the Access to Information Act. You can't ask that because it prejudices the economic interests of the Northwest Territories. I don't think we want to erode MLA privileges in that regard with this act. I'm sure other Members will agree with me on that.
So, Mr. Chairman, I will ask again. If it is in here, where is it? I don't see it. Thank you.
