Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I just noticed that there was a letter that was sent from the Premier to the Standing Committee on Priorities and Planning about Minister Sebert assuming the responsibility for the Office of the Regulator of Oil and Gas Operations. I'm just curious to know, is there a formal instrument and does it have to be published in the Northwest Territories Gazette? Beyond just this letter, is there any other instrument that's required? A decision of Cabinet? How is this designation actually done? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
Masi. The honourable Premier.
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It's a decision of Cabinet. Thank you.
I understand, then, that it's a decision of Cabinet. Well, it's public now that it has been discussed in the House, but I presume then that the website is going to be updated to reflect this change. Is this something that appears in the Gazette? Is there any other sort of formal instrument that is required here?
There is a media release that is going out and if there is a requirement for gazetting, then it will be gazetted. There did not seem to be an urgency because there is very little oil and gas activity going on, so all of the required processes would be done in due course.
