Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Yesterday I asked the Minister of Health and Social Services about the Minister’s response to the motion in the House passed earlier this year dealing with the review of the Leishman incident at Stanton Territorial Hospital. The Minister has responded by establishing an external review conducted by Dr. Douglas Perry from Alberta, which is, in my opinion, a good first step. However, I notice that this review will be conducted under the Evidence Act. Specifically, statements made by the hospital staff will have protection of the Evidence Act and will not be made public, nor will they be shared with the mother; who, by the way, e-mailed me this morning indicating frustration that this will not be more of a public review. Given the importance of learning from this incident, can the
Minister advise me as to why he chose not to have a more public review?
