Mr. Speaker, my questions are addressed to the Minister of Justice and they follow up on my Member's statement on the issue that was raised in this House last week in regard to the intention to make a direct political appointment of the warden's position of the Territorial Women's Correctional Centre, by-passing the hiring process, the issue of experience and qualifications, the Department of Justice, and of course the many qualified Northerners who may be out there who work long and hard to get their education and experience.

My question to the Minister is, has that direct appointment gone to Cabinet and been approved yet? Thank you.
