Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I have, on a number of occasions in this House, discussed the fragile relationship that exists between the Hay River DEA and the South Slave District Education Council. Mr. Speaker, the situation has improved very little over the years that I have talked about it. The latest incident that happened with Mr. Butler being removed as representative for the Hay River DEA has not helped matters any and, Mr. Speaker, I have to quote a paragraph out of my Member's statement again and it has to do with a request from the DEA to the Minister for a legal opinion on that removal and the letter that the Minister wrote back to Mr. Butler as chair of the DEA. "I have instructed departmental staff to request a legal opinion on this issue from the Department of Justice. I will inform both your district education authority and the SSDEC of the results." Now, Mr. Speaker, when the results of that legal opinion were obtained, the Minister changed his mind on this. In view of the fact that he informed the DEA on this, will he release that legal opinion to the DEA?
