Proceed, Mr. Nerysoo.

Thank you, and thank you, honourable colleagues. No, the issue can't wait until Monday because it is going to be dealt with on Monday. It is a return to an oral question asked by Mr. Antoine today, October 14, 1994, regarding the petition for liquor restrictions in Fort Simpson.

Further to the question raised by the honourable Member for Nahendeh, Mr. Antoine, earlier today, I have now received a copy of the motion from the village of Fort Simpson. The motion states the following, which I am told is the wording on the ballot: It reads, "the following question will be put to the electors at the upcoming municipal election: 'Are you in favour of continuing the present liquor rationing system in Fort Simpson. Answer yes or no.'"

In reply to the specific question asked by the honourable Member, would this question on the ballot constitute a plebiscite, the answer is a definitive no. To hold a plebiscite is an entirely different process which is laid out in the sections of the Liquor Act that deal with local options. Thank you, Madam Speaker.

Thank you. Item 4, returns to oral questions. Item 22, third reading of bills. Item 23, orders of the day, Mr. Clerk.

Madam Speaker, there are meetings on Monday morning at 10:30 of the Ordinary Members' Caucus and at 12:00 noon of the full Caucus.
