Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I had some more questions for the Premier on the issue of the ministerial severance packages. I believe that the Premier said that the ministerial severance only comes into play when a Minister leaves his office earlier than the end of a term. We have had some resignations from Cabinet recently, so my question is when the resignations of Nunavut Members were announced in the House, were they deemed to have resigned their positions prior to the end of their term on March 31st? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It would follow then that even though some of them only left a couple of days earlier than the end of their term that that would have made them eligible for a ministerial severance package? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. If the Nunavut Cabinet Ministers had not resigned prior and had just let the clock run out on their terms and had left after March 31st, they would not have received ministerial severance packages? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, according to this policy, if they would have let their term run out to the end of March, they would not have been eligible for the severance pay of the two months of their salary. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, was this unique to Nunavut Cabinet Ministers leaving this department and would it be within the Premier's knowledge whether Cabinet Ministers would have done the same thing, for example, resigning two days prior to the end of their term at the end of the 12th Assembly? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

I will rule the question out of order. The Members cannot ask questions about the previous Assemblies. Oral questions. Mr. Krutko.
