Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I do know a little bit about the rules. I read the rule book as it were. I know the directions and discussions of the Cabinet are secret. My question is different. My question is if there is a policy on privatization and the only policy that is on our book that is public is from 1985, in various times over the past few weeks, myself, Mr. Ootes, and some other Members brought this up. We do not really know if we are following that policy because they say it is redundant and then they quote from it. I am asking how do I know what privatization scheme we are following, if we are following correctly, if I cannot see a policy or if I can see something written down? If it says for example, Mr. Speaker, we are selling off 15 glasses at $2.00 a glass, then that becomes public knowledge and we can check if we are selling those glasses at $2.00 a glass. My question is will the Premier be coming up with a policy within Cabinet, so privatization schemes with this government, which affects every resident of the Northwest Territories, is public so we can look at it and see if it is being followed?
