Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Premier, the honourable Stephen Kakfwi. Mr. Speaker, last week I wrote the Premier asking him to intervene in matters where I was getting no response from the Minister responsible for that particular department. This morning I received a response from the Premier stating that I needed to continue to deal with the same Minister, as he was responsible for that department.

As we are all aware, the Premier has recently intervened in the Minister's portfolio related to the Northwest Territories Power Corporation and the Premier went so far as to overturn an earlier Cabinet directive.

Mr. Speaker, I would like to ask what justification is the Premier using to intervene in another Minister's portfolio? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
