Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, people of the Northwest Territories should be reminded and should be aware that people who work for the Government of the Northwest Territories are allowed, within some parameters, to engage in political activity. Not everybody chooses to exercise those, but those rights are extended to employees of the government.

Senior civil servants, which includes deputy ministers, are prohibited from engaging in certain types of political activities. Executive assistants to elected Ministers, including the Premier's chief of staff, are excluded from that restricted employee category. That is very clear and it is categorical.

Mr. Speaker, I have said a number of times in this House, I have referred the information to standing committees of this House that the executive assistant to the Premier has been titled chief of staff and has been added, by political agreement among the Ministers, to have additional duties and responsibilities. I laid those out and I am going to table that this afternoon.

I again challenge the Member to table that legal opinion on which he based his very serious allegation that this Cabinet is breaking the law. I challenge him to back up his statement and show me clearly where that is done. Thank you.
