Thank you, Mr. Chairman. Mr. Chairman, I would like to treat this more as a point of order rather than general comments. The reason I refer, Mr. Chairman, to a point of order is that I believe we have legislation, the Legislative Assembly and Executive Council Act. I believe it refers in there that should an investigation into a Member's conduct, whether it is a Minister or a Member, be undertaken, that investigation ceases if the Member resigns. Therefore, we do not have a reason any more for this investigation and for this report. The Member has officially resigned.

I believe that if the Members of this House or this committee still feel that there is a need to inquire into the other recommendations, this is not the forum in which to do it because the legislation prevents that. I respectfully request the Chair to look into this point of order to see if in fact we can continue with this report.
