Person, Mr. Chairman. There are significant unresolved issues out there. In fact, it was stated up until yesterday that there was evidence that would prove an opinion of the Minister's lawyer that there was an apprehension of bias. We do not know that.

What we do know is that the process, the office, has been cast under a cloud. We as an Assembly are under a cloud because the system that we have does not seem to be functioning properly. It seems to be subject to bias. It does not seem to be politically tamper proof.

We have the issue of the tape and what that means. The tape and the involvement of senior staff, the Deputy Premier -- there are all these questions that leave this House under a cloud. Our system is under a cloud and we should be assuring the public that we will get our house in order. We will resolve the issue. We will make a final determination regardless of what the Conflict Commissioner's report says in terms of her findings on the complaint from Mr. Rowe.

I think it is absolutely essential that this Legislature take the necessary steps to resolve this issue, to reassure the people of the Northwest Territories that our systems do work, that we are not going to leave all these unanswered questions hanging out there, and that we are going to make sure that we clear the air and bring some resolution to the issue so that there in fact is a sense that the Conflict Commissioner can do her business and that office is seen to be above reproach.

In my opinion, we have to deal with the other issues that have come out of this in terms of the process, the tape and the conduct issues. I think it is absolutely essential that we proceed and to look at it just within that narrow paragraph, once it is withdrawn formally, it somehow all just disappears, that the two or three foot stack of legal documents that are there for the public record no longer have any relevance and that there are no longer any questions that we have to deal with as an Assembly, I think is taking the wrong view.

I think it is absolutely incumbent upon ourselves as legislators in this House, the ones who make the laws for the people, to be seen that we have our systems operating and that our systems are there to protect the public interest. We cannot leave this cloud hanging over all of us. Thank you.
