Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I understood the question the first time. What I'm saying is the honourable Member may request the translation through the Clerk. I don't think the question should be directed at me because I'm not in charge of the staff here when they are
functioning on behalf of the Speaker. But I will advise the honourable Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I realize that the staff in the Assembly are dealt with through the Clerk's and the Speaker's offices. I'm simply asking if the staff in the language bureau could translate the rent scale change notice that was provided by the Housing Corporation into English from Inuktitut. That's all I'm asking.

Thank you. I understood the question. The thing is, the staff are here in the Assembly. I guess what I should say is which staff do you want to do it? The ones in Iqaluit, the ones in Rankin Inlet, the ones in Kitikmeot or the ones here in Yellowknife? In my view, the Speaker can handle the responsibility.

Mr. Speaker, I did indicate, if possible, that I would like to have it done by tomorrow. Now that he has given me the choice of Yellowknife or regional staff, maybe I should pick the hardest one and make the Minister work. The most expedient would be the Yellowknife staff, if that is possible, Mr. Speaker.

Jeannie Marie-Jewell Thebacha
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would like to ask the acting Premier a question. The Premier tabled a document last week about the Fort Smith aircraft maintenance facility. As I went through the document, I noticed that there are two letters which were tabled that were unsigned. Mr. Speaker, according to our rules, documents unsigned are not allowed to be tabled. I would like to ask the acting Premier if he would provide, in accordance with the rules, the signed documents and retable them. Thank you.

I would like to remind Members that any documents that are tabled in this House have had the prerogative of all the Members and there are no rules about signatures. You may, however, tell a Minister that you would like a letter with signatures on it. I think the Member may want to rephrase the question. Mrs. Marie-Jewell.

I'll try again, Mr. Speaker. It is my understanding, according to the rules, that we cannot table any documents in the House, such as letters, that don't have a signature. The Premier tabled Tabled Document 40-12(7) on March 2nd and there is information in it without proper signatures. That's why I would like to ask if the Premier can provide those particular documents, with the signatures, to the House. Thank you.

The Speaker Samuel Gargan
Again, Mrs. Marie-Jewell, with regard to the document tabled by the Minister, we don't know whether or not the Minister is aware that the documents that she tabled were unsigned. We have to check the rules of Beauchesne with regard to signed documents being tabled in the House. Maybe it's a question of procedure and a point of order. Perhaps you may wish to raise this as a point of order. Mrs. Marie-Jewell.

Jeannie Marie-Jewell Thebacha
Mr. Speaker, I'll try again. Mr. Speaker, I'm asking the acting Premier about Tabled Document 40-12(7), which the Premier tabled. There are letters that are not signed in this document. I would like to ask the acting Premier if he would provide those letters to this House to ensure they are valid letters. Thank you.

Yes, but that should be raised as a point of order. Acting Premier, Mr. Pollard.

John Pollard Hay River
Mr. Speaker, I'll be glad to go through the document and any letters that have been provided in an unsigned state -- if they are on file with a signature -- we'll collate again. I would point out to the House at this time, Mr. Speaker, that there are some documents that have come to light from different files since we tabled that chronology and it may well be that we should add those documents in and table the whole thing again, with signed letters if they are, in fact, signed. I will do that, Mr. Speaker. Thank you.

Thank you. I would appreciate that because there are quite a few letters that aren't in here that should be in here. I would like to ask the acting Premier if he can make a commitment to retable the correct document, if I may use those terms, by the end of the week. Thank you.
