Mr. Speaker, our time together as a combined Assembly is short. There is as yet, an unconcluded initiative that we inherited from the 12th Assembly and that particular initiative, Mr. Speaker, is the review and report on the affirmative action program of the Government of the Northwest Territories. The initial review started back in the 12th Assembly when we took office, there was a considerable amount of interest and pressure exerted on the government to bring closure to that particular matter. The government hit a wall where they could not seem to bring anything forward in the formal concrete way that was ready or qualified to be put on the table in this Assembly. In order to assist the government, a special committee was struck comprising of colleagues, Mr. Henry, Mr. Erasmus, Mr. Picco and myself. We spent a considerable amount of time working with the material we had, all the work that had been done to pull together what we thought were very concrete recommendations which we submitted to the government and they indicated that they would be acting upon them.
Mr. Speaker, we have basically one more session or two short ones between now and December which will wrap up our relationship and our role here as an Assembly together. I think it is critical that before we finish that the government, in fact, table something in this House that would indicate their work that has been done, many people, hundreds of government employees were consulted thousands, tens of thousands, probably hundreds of thousands of dollars were spent on this particular review. Yet, we have not seen one document brought to this House. I will be asking the Premier in question period when and what is happening with that report and when we can expect to see it tabled, when our constituents can expect to see the combination of all of this effort and work that has been put in this particular review. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
