Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I’d like to ask the Premier whether or not we are planning a response to the Joint Review Panel recommendations as the Government of the Northwest Territories and when is the next time we will be submitting any response to the JRP report to any regulatory body?
Thank you, Mr. Bromley. The honourable Premier, Mr. Roland.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The Ministers responsible for this area are working to secure time with the committee to go over the process that we’re involved with and the steps that we’ll be required to take. We’ll get that meeting together and we can talk about the process forward.
I appreciate that. I wonder if the Premier would commit to letting us know as soon as he knows the date that we will next be submitting a response, as I mentioned, to any regulatory body.
As I’ve stated, with that briefing to committee, the information that we’ll be able to share on timelines, if that is one of the things we need to nail down is that process and information available to share at that time, I’m sure the Ministers will be prepared to do that.
I believe we did respond on the 11th of February. There was a regulatory need for that. I assume there are other regulatory dates that are scheduled and that we would have to respond by. Perhaps there isn’t, but I would appreciate a commitment again from the Premier that he will find that out and let the House know. Obviously that’s not confidential.
We’ll be able to put a package together on the timelines and commitments that are required of everybody that stepped into this process and will be able to do that with committee.
Thank you, Mr. Roland. Final supplementary, Mr. Bromley.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I look forward to the get-together where we can discuss this and how the Regular Members will have input. I guess I would like to ask the Premier to assure us that the perspectives of the Regular Members are being considered in his deliberations before they come to us with a done deal or briefing.
One of the main reasons to get together with members of committees with ourselves is to clearly establish the process forward with information that can be shared. Those type of commitments, input into how we go forward in developing our responses and those areas where we’re, as well, not just solely responsible for area but where other governments are involved. We’ll have to establish that. I understand that we’ll have both a law clerk as well as a justice to help us navigate those waters.
Thank you, Mr. Roland. The time for question period has expired. Item 8, written questions. Item 9, returns to written questions. Item 10, replies to opening address. The honourable Member for Frame Lake, Ms. Bisaro.

I’m sorry, Ms. Bisaro. I missed what item you wanted to go back to. Was that item 8?
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Item 8, written questions.
