Thank you, Mr. Yakeleya. Before we go any further, I just want to make mention of one thing. In an effort to try to make the best use of our time, perhaps if you have a number of questions directed at one Minister, we can try to get you to use up as much of your 10 minutes as you possibly can. I am sure the Ministers can take notes of the questions that you pose during your comments. I think that may be a better use of our time as opposed to going back and forth.

Mr. Yakeleya, I will go to I believe it was Minister Bell. Is that who the question was directed at? Minister Bell? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Premier. I have Mr. Pokiak next. Mr. Pokiak.

Thank you, Mr. Menicoche. We will continue after a short recess. Thank you.

---SHORT RECESS

Thank you, Mr. McLeod. I have Mr. Braden next on the list. Mr. Braden.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Given the fact that we haven't had any information, I would like to ask the Premier what information was available to Cabinet Ministers when they made the decision. We haven't seen any information. I would like to ask the Premier what did they see? Where was the research if they had any research prior to making that decision? Thank you, Madam Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. McLeod. Mr. Villeneuve.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. The Premier and some of his Cabinet colleagues are also Yellowknife MLAs. Does it bother the Premier or bother the other Cabinet Ministers that the information that myself and colleagues of mine have asked for from the Minister about where the research is, what type of studies were conducted into moving the TTC from Yellowknife to Hay River, we just haven’t got it? I know the Minister has responded that he’s going to get it to us by the end of session, but, Madam Speaker, that causes me a great deal of concern that that information isn’t readily available to...

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, your committee has been considering Ministers’ statements 1-15(4), 3-15(4), 4-15(4) and 5-15(4) and would like to report progress that Ministers’ statements 1-15(4), 3-15(4), 4-15(4) and 5-15(4) are concluded and, Madam Speaker, I move that the report of Committee of the Whole be concurred with.

Thank you, Mr. Premier. I have Mr. Villeneuve next on the list.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I am wondering if the Minister can also tell me if he is at least considering making these CPAP machines part of the NWT insured services for clients that require them. Thank you, Madam Speaker.
