Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, my question is to the Minister of Health and Social Services regarding the specialists' negotiations crisis. Mr. Speaker, one of the things that a lot of people have been writing me about is what has been in the media from the Minister as to the doctors' compensation package. I believe that a lot of people want to know, but they have no way of knowing what both sides of the story are. The frustrating thing about this is that the information is confidential. In fact, the Minister wrote to all the Members on April 25th advising us that there is a ban agreed to "by the parties on public communications regarding the detailed substance of the negotiating mandate or proposals." So I would like to know for what purpose and what was his intent in releasing a five-page press release with all of the details or what he chose to release as details of the compensation package? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
