The Member is seeking unanimous consent to return to item 6, oral questions. Are there any nays? There are no nays. We will return to item 6, oral questions. Before I go there, colleagues, at this time, I would like to draw your attention to the Speaker's Gallery and the presence of our Conflict of Interest Commissioner and Ethics Councillor for the public service in the Northwest Territories, Mr. Ted Hughes.
---Applause
Members, as you are aware, Mr. Hughes has tendered his resignation as our Conflict of Interest Commissioner, effective November 30, 2005. Mr. Hughes' term as Conflict of Interest Commissioner was scheduled to expire on February 28, 2006. It is my understanding, however, that his wife instructed him, in no uncertain terms, that he cannot continue to work a day past his 80th birthday.
