Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Last week, the Member for Hay River made reference to the meeting she was called to with the Premier back in November. She stated the assistant deputy minister for Justice was present at that meeting. Last week during the question period, she asked for clarification respecting a policy of this government in using senior personnel of the Department of Justice and specifically the ADM, who is a lawyer, in what Mrs. Groenewegen considered a personal and a political meeting. The Premier stated there is no policy but for clarification could I ask the deputy minister if there are some constraints that the justice officials may be under when it comes to discussion of political issues among Members?
