Thank you. Minister of Health and Social Services, Madam Premier.

Madam Speaker, that was the conclusion of the report, and I have no basis to contradict the report. Thank you, Madam Speaker.

Thank you. Supplementary, Mr. Lewis.

Madam Speaker, the tabled document only provides a summary of the findings of the independent researcher contracted to review the AIDS project. I would like to ask the Minister if she is prepared to provide the House with the work of the independent researchers, since the Department of Health has provided only a sketchy summary of the actual study in its findings? On March 30th, I asked Ms. Mike for this information. On April 2nd, I was told that the work of the consultant was incorporated in the study, itself. I told her I had time to read it over the weekend of April 3rd and 4th and she agreed to provide it to me. Since this was a commitment made in this Assembly to Members, could I receive the report made by the independent researcher?

Thank you. May I remind honourable Members to keep their preambles as short as possible. Minister of Health and Social Services, Madam Premier.

Madam Speaker, the consultant's report prepared by Tompkins, which the Member is referring to, has been incorporated into the document which was tabled. What has been taken out of that report are the confidential comments that were in the initial report. Madam Speaker, because of its confidential, sensitive nature and the implications to individuals who provided sometimes very personal observations, the initial report will not be available. However, I can assure the Member that the findings were incorporated in the final report. Thank you, Madam Speaker.

Thank you. Supplementary, Mr. Lewis.

Since I want to be absolutely clear, then, Madam Speaker, since the response to my question to the then Minister of Health about whether I could have the consultant's report was yes, she could provide the report to me, is the Minister saying that a commitment made by a Minister to this House cannot be honoured?

Minister of Health and Social Services, Madam Premier.

Madam Speaker, I'm not aware of which report the former Minister was offering. I assumed the report was the report that was tabled, Madam Speaker.

Thank you. Item 6, oral questions. The honourable Member for Baffin South, Mr. Pudlat.

(Translation) Thank you, Madam Speaker. I have a question for the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs. When I first became a Member of the Legislative Assembly, Sanikiluaq was one of my communities that had a major concern about the community recreational centre. They raised this issue with me when I first became a Member. The hamlet stated they had to close down the recreational centre in Sanikiluaq due to unsafe conditions. I should state that residents of Sanikiluaq drew up a petition regarding the recreational centre. The residents have concerns about this centre. So, I'm asking the Minister of MACA if she can look into this matter as soon as possible and if she can inform the mayor of Sanikiluaq about the community centre. Thank you, Madam Speaker.

Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs, Ms. Mike.

(Translation) Thank you, Madam Speaker. Just recently, I received the petition the Member is talking about. The hamlet of Sanikiluaq wrote a letter to me about the community centre and I replied to them that we would set aside money in the 1995-96 budget, but I will have to present this to the Cabinet before I make any commitment to Mr. Pudlat's concern. Thank you.

Supplementary, Mr. Pudlat.

(Translation) Thank you, Madam Speaker, and I thank the Minister of MACA for responding. We all know the Minister will be looking into this matter as soon as she can. Can the Minister indicate how unsafe this building was when they had to close it down and can she inform the House about whether she can send an inspector to inspect the building? I would like to know how long they have to keep the building closed and if she can commit to me to send an inspector down to inspect the building. Thank you.

Thank you. Ms. Mike.

(Translation) Thank you, Madam Speaker. I will ask my officials to look into this. Thank you.

Item 6, oral questions. The honourable Member for Nahendeh, Mr. Antoine.

Thank you. May I once again remind honourable Members to attempt to keep their preambles as short as possible. Minister of Health and Social Services, Madam Premier.

Madam Speaker, I will take the question as notice.

Item 6, oral questions. The honourable Member for High Arctic, Mr. Pudluk.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. There was a letter sent to the Premier on October 24, 1994 from the hamlet council saying they want to take over the responsibilities of social services and health. They want to make an agreement between these two departments and the hamlet council. Has an agreement been reached?
