Minister's Statement 47-13(5): New Trades And Occupations

Item 2: Ministers' Statements

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Good morning. Mr. Speaker, as the first annual NWT Apprenticeship Week draws to a close, I am pleased to announce the designation of a new trade and three new occupations in the Northwest Territories. The Apprenticeship, Trade and Occupations Certification Board met in November to review requests made by representatives of the construction business and the tourism industry to have trades and occupations recognized under our Apprenticeship, Trade and Occupations Certification Act.

The board has recognized the new trade of insulator (heat and frost), and at the request of the apprenticeship board, I have recommended that a trade designation order be published. Insulators will now be able to be certified in the Northwest Territories. Occupational certification is a formal recognition of skills. While similar to apprenticeship, occupational certification could be seen as the "younger brother " to apprenticeship. On-the-job and technical training are in the control of industry, rather than government.

As the Members know, this Apprenticeship Week is the first ever held in the Northwest Territories, and earlier, I noted another first with the creation of the Construction Trades for Women Program. Following that theme, it is fitting we finish off the week's activities with the announcement of another first for both the Northwest Territories and, in fact, Canada, that is, the designation of three new occupations under the Apprenticeship, Trade and Occupations Certification Board for certification: furrier, hunting guide and fishing guide. All three are being designated under the Apprenticeship Act in Canada for the first time.

In closing, I would like to thank everyone who participated in the Apprenticeship Week activities in communities throughout the Northwest Territories, and once again recognize the thousands of men and women who work as apprentices and journeypersons across the north. Mahsi.

Item 3: Members' Statements

Michael Miltenberger

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, when I first became a Member of this Legislative Assembly one of the hardest things to get used to was recognition and acceptance of the fact that I entered a profession that is held in generally low esteem by the people. In fact, I saw a poll not too long ago where we rank even lower than lawyers in terms of public perception, and unfortunately just marginally ahead of child molesters. Mr. Speaker, that is unfortunate because it colours the perception of people and their perception of everything we do regardless of how good it is.

I came through the door intent on representing my constituents and the people of the Northwest Territories to the best of my ability. That is still my intention. I believe, that is the intention of every Member in the House here today. We have to strive every day to prove to the people that in fact we have their best interests at heart. In this House I have heard this Assembly characterized as a banana republic. Once again, I believe that is an unfortunate perception. I believe history will show that this Assembly is probably the best and has done the most of any of the 12 Assemblies before us.

Mr. Speaker, we inherited an Assembly that was for all intents and purposes in political grid lock where there was political scandal on almost a weekly basis, where there was a revolving door to Cabinet. We restructured the Assembly to be much more functional and open. We inherited a deficit and a territorial government that was hurtling towards bankruptcy. We also inherited a huge backlog of legislative agenda of undone business and a road to division that was significantly behind schedule. Mr. Speaker, I am very proud to be part of this Assembly. We have balanced the budget. We have restructured government to make it more efficient and accountable.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Thank you, colleagues. Mr. Speaker, this Assembly has balanced the budget. We have restructured government. We have taken care of a huge legislative backlog, though there is still much ahead of us. We will get to division. We cannot forget the good things we have done because sometimes on a day-to-day basis, we get caught up in our affairs that are before us and forget that we have accomplished a lot. We all have a job to do, Mr. Speaker.

We have set an agenda for ourselves and when issues come up, this job requires some people to ask questions, some people to answer questions, like the Lahm Ridge Tower. It is our responsibility as an Assembly to deal with that issue in a professional, impersonal way. This is business. We cannot lose track of the fact, Mr. Speaker, that it is only an issue before us. We still have a very big agenda ahead of us and lots of work to do in the short life that remains before this 13th Assembly. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

David Krutko

Mackenzie Delta

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, the last time I checked, I do have guts and I do have a backbone. I have the right to raise issues on behalf of my constituency in this House, and if the issues end up in the newspapers, so be it. Mr. Speaker, I put my name forth to represent the people in the Mackenzie Delta in relation to issues and, hopefully, to improve the lives of the people of the Mackenzie Delta. I speak not only for the Mackenzie Delta, but for the people in the north.

To help make life better for the people in the north, issues have to be discussed, questions have to be raised and comments made in relation to the Lahm Ridge Tower, the whole area of health problems in the north, funding for education and the area that concerns a lot of us, the cancer problems we see in our communities. Regardless if it is a water issue or an education issue, I hoped that it would make a difference. I stand up in this House and ask questions to the different Ministers. A lot of times I get answers I do not feel comfortable with, so I ask more questions. Mr.

Speaker, we were elected to not only represent the ridings of the people we represent but the north in general. Programs are delivered by this government for everyone, not for one riding, for one health board or basically for one particular group of people. We have to seriously ask ourselves, who does this government represent? Does it represent the people of the Northwest Territories? Does it represent big industry? Does it work solely on the emphasis that they have to protect their little portfolios in relation to the different departments they are responsible for?

I believe that it has come time where we have to say to ourselves, who do we represent?

Jane Groenewegen

Hay River

Mr. Speaker, thank you. I am just in the midst of preparing my statement, but I will have to wing the end of it. Mr. Speaker, one more time for the record. I am going to try to explain to the House what my motives are. Mr. Speaker, I campaigned in Hay River on the motto of energy and action. People who did not even like me, voted for me because they said, if she stands up for us the way we have seen her stand up for herself, we will vote for her. Returning home after the last session, a number of my key supporters got together and put me on the hot seat so to speak. They said Jane, what has happened to you?

Why are you not asking any questions? Why are you not asking any hard questions? I explained to them very candidly that when I first came here, I got sick. I picked up a virus. I was sick. I was getting over that when I tripped and broke my leg. It took me months to get over that. I was just in the midst of getting over that and my company in Hay River was on the verge of bankruptcy. In the midst of that I got a phone call that my dearest friend, my father, had dropped dead of a heart attack.

I explained that to my constituents, but then I did commit to them that they would see the old me who they had elected and they would see energy and action in the Legislature.

On the heels of this meeting with my supporters, I was publicly confronted in a constituency meeting and asked if this government has a communication problem or a correction problem. That is the question I was asked. I committed to find out the answer to that question. On my first day back in Yellowknife, I did go around Yellowknife, I did go to the Courthouse and I did collect public documents in my search for the answer to that question. I returned to the Legislative Assembly to be approached by the Ordinary Members saying, the Premier is waiting to see you.

I went to the Premier 's office and met with him at his request, and there to my surprise is the assistant deputy minister of Justice, a lawyer I would assume. I am told that she will provide the service of being a witness to the Premier . Mr. Speaker, I have to say, I have been asked, do I hope there are any red faces at the end of this exercise. I sincerely hope not. My motives are not to embarrass or hurt anyone. I am a God-fearing woman. I have made mistakes and I probably will make more mistakes.

Every morning when I leave my house, I say a prayer, and I hope and pray that I do not make mistakes which either contravene proper principles of ethics and behaviour or the principles which I adhere to as a Christian. Mr. Speaker, again for the record, my motives are to represent my constituents to the best of my ability and to live up to the campaign motto on which I was elected which were energy and action. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Member's Statement 174-13(5): Timely Receipt Of Budget Information

Item 3: Members' Statements

Edward Picco

Iqaluit

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, we are doing right now the review of the main estimates for the budget. It is very disappointing, Mr. Speaker, when you are trying to do a review of the budget and have information coming to you the day before or the actual day that a department is up for review. In case of point is, Mr. Speaker, the Department of MACA provided to the Minister of Finance's department, FMBS, a copy of information requested by my committee on the 8th of January. Mr. Speaker, that information I received yesterday.

That information pertains to the MACA budget and is information that should have been brought forward in my opening remarks yesterday and in some of the questions yesterday on the main estimates. Mr. Speaker, my concern here today, indeed, is what is causing this delay at the Department of Finance and the Financial Board? It is not acceptable for me, as an Ordinary Member or chairman of a committee.

There is also the situation regarding other committees in this House who have had the same problem happening and later today I will be questioning the Minister of Finance who has ultimate responsibility for the budget, to find out if this is actually a mistake or a logistic problem or, indeed, an attempt to sandbag questions. Thank you.

Member's Statement 175-13(5): Premier's Statement Regarding Lahm Ridge Tower Questions

Item 3: Members' Statements

Page 609

Jake Ootes

Yellowknife Centre

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to express my concern about the Premier 's statement of February 4th, regarding the questioning by Ordinary Members over the Lahm Ridge Tower lease. Mr. Speaker, the Premier 's statement caused me concern as an Ordinary Member. He challenged the Member for Hay River to file a conflict of interest complaint. I can only conclude that we have fundamentally different views on the rights and obligations of government and Ordinary Members. As the Premier said, we do have processes outside of this House for dealing with citizens' concerns. In fact, we have several.

We have courts and commissioners and adjudicators. As he said, it is true that anyone may make a complaint to the Conflict of Interest Commissioner. I have the greatest of respect for these institutions but, Mr. Speaker, we have another process, one that goes back centuries. It is called democracy. Democracy means responsible government and that means that those individuals not in a governing position have a responsibility to question and be a sober second thought.

Responsible government means several things, but foremost, to me it means that Ministers of government are accountable to the people through their elected representatives, the Ordinary Members of this House. Government must be fair and just. It must be seen to be fair and just. There are few opportunities for government to directly answer questions to the people, questions of the people. If there are rumours and innuendo and if the rumours are misconceived, I would have thought that the government would welcome the opportunity to clear up the misconceptions.

Instead the Premier chose to challenge one of the Members. Mr. Speaker, whether or not government welcomes this opportunity, Ordinary Members will continue to ask questions in this House whether it is pleasant or unpleasant for the government. It is our responsibility and our duty as Ordinary Members. We will continue to exercise our duty. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Member's Statement 176-13(5): NWT Ski Coach Firing

Item 3: Members' Statements

Page 609

James Rabesca

North Slave

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, today I received a letter from one of my constituents who is concerned over the recent firing of the NWT ski division's head coach. My constituent is raising concerns of what will become of the ski program. It is my understanding that this coach has assisted the community of Rae Lakes by providing low cost ski equipment and has helped to establish a ski club and promote the sport to the youth and other members of the community. The community of Rae Lakes would like to know why they were not informed or have any input into the decision to release the coach.

If this is an association, I would think that each Member should have a say. This decision seems to have taken place at a bad time considering we have the Arctic Winter Games and Territorial Ski Championships fast approaching. I only hope that this decision will not have any detrimental affect on this great sport that over the years has produced many world-calibre athletes in the north. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Tommy Enuaraq

Baffin Central

(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker, and good morning. Firstly I would like to say hi to the people in Pangnirtung, Clyde River and the other communities. (Translation ends) An agreement between the hamlet and the NWT was made a few years ago that the hamlet would receive priority for the use of the parking garage at the airport. Now the hamlet has need of the whole garage, Mr. Speaker. I would like to see a new parking garage or an extension to the present one to accommodate both GNWT and hamlet. The hamlet now keeps its equipment stored at the airport parking garage. There is no room for GNWT equipment.

Alternative storage needs to be found for the GNWT. The proper storage of equipment will prolong their use. A newer or bigger garage is needed for GNWT equipment. This was made known to the Department of Transportation a while ago. Again the community of Broughton Island needs a new or larger parking garage at its airport. Thank you.

Prior to the actual signing of the lease extension, a letter of understanding outlining the terms of the extension was signed by both parties on August 6th. The deputy minister of Public Works and Services signed the actual lease extension document on September 25, 1997. The owner signed the same document on September 29, 1997. The time of signing in not known. As the Member will be aware, the times referred to in her question represent the times that the documents were clocked in at the Land Titles office upon delivery from the lawyer's office. It is not possible to be that exact about the time of day that the parties actually signed the documents.

Negotiations on the lease extension took place exclusively between Vince Dixon and Al Marceau, in the superintendent's office, supplemented by a few phone calls between the two. either Mr. Mrdjenovich nor Mr. Bailey were involved in the negotiations.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As I indicated in my Member's statement, the parking garage in Broughton Island Airport is getting a bit over aged. There is hardly any space in there for the hamlet and the GNWT. Mr. Speaker, my question will be directed to the Honourable Manitok Thompson , Minister of MACA . When can the community of Broughton Island expect to have an expansion or a new garage at the airport in Broughton Island. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The new trade of insulator (heat and frost) is not a journeypersons certification. It is not an apprenticeship situation. It is, as I have said in my statement, like the younger brother of the

journeyperson's process. It would not therefore qualify for something like red seal status because I believe that only applies to journeyperson's certification. It takes a lesser amount of time than does apprenticeship in order to achieve the certification. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, in answer to the question whether or not these could be community-based, the answer is, like all journey trades positions they can be community-based because they are based in large part on experience and working with people who are certified to teach the program. In terms of how long the programs are, I am not exactly sure, and I would have to get back to the Member on that.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, these programs will fit into our regular course of apprenticeship and trades supports that we provide. Yes, there is adequate money to provide the courses as needed. The money is limited of course, so each year, I do not believe that we offer all courses for every single trade. It depends in large part on the subscription. If there are a number of people who require the courses, then we endeavour to provide them. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Item 6: Oral Questions

Mr. Speaker, yesterday Mr. Barnabas asked the Minister of Justice regarding the one court system in Nunavut and I believe the response from the honourable Minister was that a single/double trial court is seen as a solution to the problem of trials in the Nunavut area. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take it from there and my question is for the Minister of Justice . When we talk about Nunavut, our vision was that we would have closer access to many of the services and programs that are currently serviced by this government once Nunavut becomes a reality. I understand that a court system is tribunal and, Mr.

Speaker, I believe there is a need for appeal in the court system. I am wondering, how would the honourable Minister of Justice proceed if in fact there is need for an appeal in the court system? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. As I have indicated yesterday, the proposal is now set up for a single level trial approach system for Nunavut. This is one issue that has agreement with all parties whole-heartedly. However, there are a lot of details and logistics that need to be worked out in the next 12 months or so including details such as how would an appeal process work, et cetera. I do know that those are the types of issues that have had some research done on them. I do not have those in front of me.

However, I can tell the Member that the three parties, the federal government, the territorial government, and the NTI are working very closely together to help set up the justice system. In the end, the responsibility will be with the Department of Justice for the federal government with the assistance of our territorial Justice Department. I can inform the Member, I do plan to meet with Honourable Anne McLellan, Minister of Justice for Canada on the 23rd in Ottawa to discuss this issue. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The driving force behind trying to amalgamate the different levels of the court system, the Supreme Court level, the territorial court level and in some degree the JP court level, is the problem of when a court party comes into a community, there are a number of offences that need to be heard. You have many cases where the judge because they are in a different level of the court will say they cannot hear it and the court appearance is delayed for many months. This is one improvement that the communities have asked for and that the government recognizes as a need to be worked on.

It is, indeed, the driving force that you get a single level trial process that can hear most of the cases which should go to court. Thank you.

Question 235-13(5): Igloolik Community Hall Extension

(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is directed to the Minister of Municipal and Community Affairs . I think the Minister is aware that the community hall in Igloolik is too small for the population. I have not seen any capital funding for Igloolik for the extension of the community hall. Is she aware the community hall is very small for the people of Igloolik? Are there any plans in the future for the extension of the community hall in Igloolik? Thank you. (Translation ends)

(Translation) Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, if the hamlet has done prioritizing of their capital planning, that is the way you can request for capital funding for the extension of the Igloolik community hall. If the Igloolik hamlet council has a wish to get that done as a priority they can push for the planning of it to be first. I had heard some time ago that the community hall is very small. I am not really sure whether there is anything written to find out the size of the community hall. I will get back to the Member after I find out from my staff. Thank you. (Translation ends)

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Once you go to tender on a contract or you go to a proposal call, you do have a law to protect those who tender and those are used continually throughout government. One thing I learned previously when I was the Minister of DPW and the Housing Corporation, if you have 20 people bidding on a contract, you are going to have 19 of them mad because only one of them is going to get the contract. You always have appeals. It is a constant revolving door of people complaining. You explain the case and it is done. That is it. That is government. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Justice on the coroner's office. Mr. Speaker, as a Member of the Social Programs Committee and as a matter of my own interest in the justice area, I have made statements on this area before and asked questions. We know there has been a lot of concern about the coroner's office, particularly since the coroner resigned some time ago. I would like to know if the Minister could give us an update on what has been done about the chief coroner's position?

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. The former chief coroner resigned about eight months ago. Since then, the government has reviewed the situation of how a chief coroner works in the office and how they are hired, et cetera. Through a consultant, we actually did a review asking for recommendations on how to proceed. I am pleased to inform Members that as of February 1st, we have hired Mr. Percy Kinney of Yellowknife as the chief coroner for the NWT.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I would have to check on whether there were resignations. I do know that the period between April, 1997 and February 1st has been a time when government and the coroner's office has had a chance to look at procedures and the way it deals with the work at hand and have had a chance to improve on the way it does business. I must say that the acting coroner, Cathy Menard, has done an excellent job over the past year or so in dealing with the running of the office and acting as chief coroner during that time. Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. It was not a personal matter. I met with the Member as the Premier of the Northwest Territories. She is the MLA for Hay River, last time I checked. I sat down and met with her. We had a frank discussion; notes were kept. I never did talk to the ADM again to check on the notes, but notes were kept of the meeting. Thank you.

Question 239-13(5): Shortage Of NWT Tradespeople

Item 6: Oral Questions

Page 615

Henry

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question is to the Minister for Education, Culture and Employment , the honourable Mr. Dent . I think it is accepted that this government over the past number of years has cut back on the amount of dollars that it has spent in construction activity. Over that period of time, I believe the NWT Construction Association is saying that we now have a shortage of skilled tradespeople in the Northwest Territories. My question to the Minister is, I want to know if he shares this opinion?

What is his department doing about trying to get the number of tradesmen increased now that there is much potential with initiatives that the government is putting forward through P3 and so forth? Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, I think we only need to look at the number of tradespeople that had to be imported to build the BHP diamond plant to recognize we could have used more tradespeople in the Northwest Territories. Looking at the future, we have projected fully one-third of all the new jobs we can expect to see in the territories in the next five years will require trades certification. This confirms the need for more development in order for our young people to find jobs. What is the department doing?

Our sponsorship of Apprenticeship Week this year is one example of an activity we have undertaken to raise the profile of trades in the north. We are offering the Schools North Apprenticeship Program in which young people may start an apprenticeship while still in high school as part of the CTS modules. The Mine Training Committee has initiated a program called Mine TAP, which is an upgrading program to enable northerners who are not quite ready to enter into an apprenticeship to upgrade themselves

so they can enter into an apprenticeship. We have worked at improving, through our CTS modules, awareness among young people in the north of the opportunities that are provided through apprenticeship. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I cannot answer the question because I do not know whether or not the number of graduates in the last year has increased. I do know that in the Northwest Territories we have over 19.5 apprentices per 1,000 people in the active job field, which is higher than any other jurisdiction in Canada. Apprenticeship in the north is a very strong career route for a person to choose. I expect from that number, we have a fairly good graduation rate. Most of the graduates from the Apprenticeship Program do find jobs and stay in the north. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, any opportunity which increases the number of people who have access to the program will definitely lead to an increase in the number of successful graduates. While the Member was asking his question, I was able to find out that the increase in the number of graduates in the program is about 16 percent over the last year. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. My question will be for the Minister of Public Works and Services regarding the Yellowknife office space plan. Yesterday, the Minister confirmed the office space plan was initiated in January, 1997 and a rationale plan was agreed upon in July, 1997. In the Minister's statements filed in this House, he said that there were a variety of discussion papers. Could the Minister tell us if it would be correct, if the Department of Public Works and Services knew of the office space requirements and needs about a month or two before the rationalization plan was approved by the deputy ministers in July? Thank you.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, starting in January of 1997, yes, the Department of Public Works began to start looking closely at the Yellowknife office space requirement. Through meetings with the deputy ministers, they have determined what would be required and by July they had a fairly good idea of what long-term leases would be retained and we could do with the existing properties of the Government of the Northwest Territories.

Thank you, Mr. Speaker. Mr. Speaker, when the long-term ten-year lease was up in 1995, Mr. Marceau wanted to exercise a lease extension. It was put on hold by the department because of the downsizing and the different scenarios that were going on within the department about the size of the government, and I am told it was until July of last year that Mr. Marceau had contacted the department. I am not aware of any time, three or four months before that so I will have to get back to the Member on that to be clear. Thank you.

The Premier came back and said if I wanted, the Dene Nation, the Metis Nation, the Gwich'in Nation, Inuvialuit and Sahtu and everything like that. To clarify, Mr. Speaker, that was not my question. I would like to ask my question again, in the motion of 1996, would that include the boards and agencies of this government, the Government of the Northwest Territories?
