Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, there's one further area I wish to raise with respect to my earlier statement and my questions, and it's built around transparency. And first, I want to highlight and acknowledge the effort to put something in writing by a concerned citizen. It is a difficult undertaking putting your name on something, forwarding information that you believe to be honest and true, and I want to acknowledge that. But at the same token, as well this matter's being discussed in the fray of public behind the scenes and those people who will be questioned is this true or untrue when the facts eventually emerge one way or the other, what type of transparency is going to be given once some type of determination of result after the investigation is done to ensure that all those who are talking behind the scenes or in front of the scenes or during the scenes, or whatever the case may be, are treated fairly and respectfully? Thank you.
Thank you, Member. Minister of Health and Social Services.
Mr. Speaker, you know, if this is a CFS -- if there are any CFS investigations, those are children that we are talking about. Those are highly confidential, sensitive investigations. If there are criminal -- you know, things that go forward, then they go to the RCMP and criminal charges would be filed, and those would be in the courts. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. So, Mr. Speaker, when people in the public are talking about this particular matter and when it's been investigated but there's no result in one way or the other whether the matter has been assessed and found not wanting or the matter has been assessed and found wanting and further steps, there's no public airing or clarification on this particular issue. So to be clear, Mr. Speaker -- and the last point I want to hone in on -- no one wants any names issued in this particular case, so that's not what I'm after. I'm saying how do we clear the air by ending the conversation by saying it's been investigated and it's been found not wanting or wanting and further steps will be -- as required will proceed. So how do we clear the air? Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we do not air or disclose private matters. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Mr. Speaker, when you're a funding agent and you're doing an investigation under the public guise of the public service in the process of -- you know, that falls into the child and family services area, don't you think there's some level of responsibility for clearing the air at the end of an investigation? Would the Minister comment on that? Thank you.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, even as the Minister, if there is an investigation going on I get notified that the matter is concluded. And so if that's what the Member is wanting to know, if the matter is concluded, when it's concluded, that will be as much information that would be available to share. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
