Mr. Todd.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Public Utilities Board is appointed by the Minister in Cabinet with full consultation of the Members and others within the larger constituency of the Northwest Territories. Thank you.

Item 6, oral questions. Supplementary, Mr. Picco.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, with the amalgamation plans of SAPS, will there be any logistic problems with the directorate of SAPS administering the financial and other aspects of the PUB, such as potential conflict? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Mr. Todd.

Safety and Public Services has a very, very minor role in the Public Utilities Board. The Public Utilities Board, I believe, does most of their financial administration themselves. The payroll may come out of the government, I'm not sure, but ... It really works as a quasijudicial board, as Mr. Picco has said, and the role of the government in it, through Safety and Public Services, is minimal. Thank you.
