Thank you, Madam Speaker. My question will be directed to the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs. Last week the Minister announced substantial changes to the water and sewer subsidy policy. This has an impact on municipalities and the hamlets across the territories. Can the Minister outline the consultation undertaken by his department with municipalities and the Association of Municipalities in preparing these changes?

Thank you. Mr. Zoe, in accordance with our rules, items are listed on the order paper. The Minister's statement indicating the consultation process used was also placed on the order paper for committee of the whole along with the water and sewer service subsidy policy. Both of these items are on the order paper in committee of the whole. Our rules do not allow us to pose questions to Ministers or the government, particularly when the items are on the order paper for discussion in committee of the whole. With that, I would like to ask if you would attempt to rephrase your question or your question would have to be ruled out of order. The honourable Member for North Slave, Mr. Zoe.
