Tabling of Documents

Robert Hawkins Yellowknife Centre

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I have three things I would like to table. The first document I would like to table is a Members’ Code of Conduct with the WSCC Workers’ Appeals Tribunal. This is in response to a particular question I raised in the House in May, where research found no conflict of interest policy at the time, but that has been since corrected. I would like to thank Mr. Colin Baile for his assistance and appreciating this particular problem at this time.

The second item I would like to table and the third item are related, Mr. Speaker. I would like to table a letter to me from Minister Jackson Lafferty regarding Question 68-17(3), stand-alone campus.

The third item is compendium page 770 and page 771. It’s the exchange over my concern over the stand-alone campus at Yellowknife Aurora College. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
