Minister of Education, Culture and Employment, Mr. Nerysoo.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. In terms of the translation services and the Assembly, it's really the responsibility of the Speaker to provide that particular service. You might say I'm in charge of the overall programming, but the direction is received right now in the Assembly from the Speaker's office.

Supplementary, Ms. Mike.

(Translation) Supplementary to my question. The Inuktitut translation states the increase in the rent scale from the Housing Corporation. I wish to have it translated by our qualified staff from Inuktitut to English. I would like it translated to English.

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. Ms. Mike, supplementary.

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.

Mr. Nerysoo.

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.

Final supplementary, Ms. Mike.

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.

Okay. There was no question there. Item 6, oral questions. Mrs. Marie-Jewell.

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.

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.
