I will call the committee back to order. Committee, thank you for your indulgence. This is the first point of privilege that has been raised this Assembly, I believe, so I just want to make sure we are getting it right.

I am going to go back to Mr. O'Reilly so that he can clearly lay out his point again, and then I am going to allow debate, after which time I will come to a ruling. First, I have Mr. Testart.

Question 808-18(3): Relationship between NWT Fishers and the Department of Industry, Tourism and Investment / Great Slave Lake Commercial Fishing
Debates of , 18th Assembly, 3rd Session (day 83)

Earlier I talked about the fact that the federation doesn't have a budget to hire the type of expertise that could help them fully engage on the development of the processing plant and move forward with the revitalization strategy. Can the Minister commit to providing adequate funding so that the federation can have someone who is working for them and in their best interest?
