Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my questions are on the post-employment policy of the Government of the Northwest Territories and directed to Mr. Todd. I realize, Mr. Speaker, from what you said today that we are not supposed to be discussing specific employees, but Mr. Todd did table and read a Minister's Statement yesterday, which I believe it would be good to ask him questions about.

Mr. Speaker, in the testimony that was provided at the inquiry, one of the questions that was actually put to Mr. Bailey was, and you participated in debates with respect to privatization of petroleum products division taking place in the Government of the Northwest Territories: Answer: That is correct; question: And you came to understand the position of the deputy ministers and the Ministers in connection with that issue; answer: That is correct. Mr. Speaker, we have some irreconcilable contradictions here that need to be dealt with. I could go on and also recite Mr. Todd's response to similar questions at the inquiry, but what I would like to address is Mr. Todd's Minister's statement yesterday where he said that Mr. Bailey did not have any direct involvement. I would like him to explain that. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
