Debates of May 17, 2011 (day 9)
MINISTER’S STATEMENT 23-16(6): INDEPENDENT REVIEW OF THE LEISHMAN INCIDENT AT STANTON
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. On May 12th, during question period, I indicated that I would share with committee the report and recommendations, and I will do that on a confidential basis. I am prevented legally from sharing the report. Subsection 15(4) of the Evidence Act prevents any person with whom the report is shared from disclosing it unless it is for the purpose of medical research or medical education. It can also be shared for the purpose of other quality assurance committee activities which are carried out by quality assurance committees.
I wish to clarify that, as I stated previously, I will provide Standing Committee on Social Programs with any recommendations that result from the review of the incident and that I will also share those recommendations with Mrs. Leishman.
Thank you, Mr. Miltenberger. The honourable Member for Yellowknife Centre, Mr. Hawkins.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I seek unanimous consent of this House to proceed and advance to recognition of visitors in the gallery under today’s agenda item number five.
