Mahsi, Madam Speaker. I will continue with questions for the Minister of Health and Social Services on the issue of the TTC. Madam Speaker, tenacity and perseverance are very much skills to be admired at the ministerial level. That’s one of the reasons I had confidence in making sure that Mr. Miltenberger went in there and I still have confidence in him and his capacity. You know something, Madam Speaker, flexibility and having an open mind are qualities that are equally important in having a Minister there and this is where I would like to see the Minister demonstrate this quality.

The Minister has opened the door a little bit, Madam Speaker, and said that he is going to disclose some information to us. My question, Madam Speaker, is, is this going to be information only exclusive to Members, or is it going to be the kind of information that can be shared with the public and the media and with stakeholders in this issue? Thank you, Madam Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Braden. The honourable Minister of Health and Social Services, Mr. Miltenberger.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I would like to thank the Member for his vote of confidence. I would also like to point out that when it comes to flexibility and being responsive, and I like to think creative, it is Health and Social Services in the last few years that has come up with midwifery legislation, nurse practitioner legislation, that has moved to do a facilities review that is going to make sure that the renovations to Stanton go ahead, that consolidates the clinics in Yellowknife, among other things, in addition to the work we have done with alcohol and drugs. I would ask that the Member keep that in mind as we focus on this particular issue.

The information that we give to Members, the assumption is it is their information. There is no caveat that I am putting on it that it can't be shared. Once it is out of my hands, it is their information. Thank you.

Thank you, Minister Miltenberger. Supplementary, Mr. Braden.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. That is going to give us some extra measure to be able to go out to our constituents who, as much as we as MLAs, seek to know what was behind the department's decision and make our own judgments on it.

Madam Speaker, this will be my last question on at least this go-round here. If the Minister says there are no caveats on it, then I would ask whether he would intend to table the document so that it would be available to everyone all at the same time. Thank you, Madam Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Braden. Mr. Miltenberger.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, I was asked to provide this information to the Members and I will do that. There are no caveats on it. I will also bring a package to Cabinet tomorrow to get some feedback, as we do before we table any documents, to see what the will of Cabinet is. At this point, the Member will have the information. He can look at it and determine how best he wants to use it, as will every other Member of this House. Thank you.
