Thank you, Mr. Chairman. In respect to Bill 4, the bill will disallow increases to certain indemnities paid to Members under the Legislative Assembly and Executive Council Act, only for the period beginning April 1, 1992 and ending March 31, 1993. In essence, Mr. Chairman, we are requesting that there be a freeze on Members' salaries, base salaries and indemnities paid to Members for this time period. Thank you.

Mr. Chairman, we would like to proceed with Bills 4, 1, 2 and 3.
Question 133-12(1): Development Of A Privacy Act December 15th, 1991
I have a question for the Government Leader. Since the Minister of Personnel is reluctant to ensure whether or not the oath of office and secrecy is respected and upheld by civil servants, and since I am concerned about the fact that fairly confidential information could be released to the public and nothing being done, particularly with respect to social assistance -- it could be health or personnel items, I would like to ask the Government Leader if she would consider directing both the Minister of Social Services, Health and Personnel to develop a privacy act to ensure that concerns of the residents of the NWT are respected and held in confidence?
Question O132-12(1): Results Of Recent Community Elections December 15th, 1991
Mr. Speaker, my question is directed to the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs. Last week he provided us with a copy of the results of the recent election. In that copy he missed quite a few communities. Could he provide us with a complete copy of the results of the elections that were held this last fall throughout every community?
Question O128-12(1): Authority To Release Information In Department Of Social Services December 15th, 1991
A point of privilege, just for clarification, Mr. Speaker, and I do not want you to feel that I am challenging you with respect to your comments; but I do want you to know that these types of questions that were formulated I did get reviewed with the Law Clerk prior to bringing them into the House. Thank you.
Question O128-12(1): Authority To Release Information In Department Of Social Services December 15th, 1991
A point of privilege, Mr. Speaker.
Question O128-12(1): Authority To Release Information In Department Of Social Services December 15th, 1991
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Since the Minister of Personnel now knows that employees did violate this oath of office and secrecy, and since he does feel that they should not use the information against their employer, I would like to know why he will not consider following through and recognize that these employees violated their oath of
office and secrecy.
Question O128-12(1): Authority To Release Information In Department Of Social Services December 15th, 1991
My question is again to the Minister of Personnel, a supplementary. I do not recall the Minister of Personnel ever looking into that situation, but I would like to ask the Minister, what is the purpose of a civil servant signing an oath of office and secrecy when they are hired? Thank you.
Question O128-12(1): Authority To Release Information In Department Of Social Services December 15th, 1991
Mr. Speaker, I did not clearly hear his reply or basically have been able to interpret his reply as to what he had indicated. I would like to ask a supplementary. Will the Minister review the situation and determine if a violation of the oath of office and secrecy that they had initially signed has been violated? Thank you.
Question O128-12(1): Authority To Release Information In Department Of Social Services December 15th, 1991
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is directed to the Minister of Personnel. The Minister of Personnel indicated that every employee is required to swear an oath of office and secrecy when they are hired. The Minister said that the oath states that an employee shall not release information gained in their employment without proper authority. Will the Minister of Personnel determine whether proper authority was given to Ann Enge, Priscilla Hamann and Marj Sakundiak for releasing confidential information that they had gained in their employment? Thank you.
