Madam Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to bring the Members up to date on the implementation of family law reform.
I am pleased to advise that work is proceeding on schedule. The Departments of Justice and Health and Social Services have been working on the development of new legislation, as recommended by the family law review report in September 1992 and by the Special Committee on Health and Social Services in November 1993.
The first piece of legislation, the Aboriginal Custom Adoption Recognition Act, has already been introduced and will come forward for further consideration in committee of the whole this session. Cabinet has approved three additional pieces of legislation to be prepared by the spring of 1995, so they can be tabled for consultation during the life of this Legislative Assembly.
Work has commenced on a new Family Law Act, a new Children's Law Act and a new Child Welfare Act. The child welfare legislation presents several opportunities and challenges. Communities must be given more opportunity to be involved in child welfare matters. This will have to be balanced with the responsibility to ensure that children taken into care receive the protection and care they need.
Further consultations with interested groups and individuals will occur as this act is drafted. Both Minister Kakfwi and myself will consult with Members, communities and the public as work on family law reform progresses. Thank you, Madam Speaker.

Minister's Statement 39-12(6): Zero Tolerance For Violence
Item 2: Ministers' Statements
Page 479
Stephen Kakfwi
Sahtu
Thank you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, later today I will be tabling a document entitled "Zero Tolerance for Violence: A Status Report." This document was prepared in fulfilment of a commitment made in the "Renewed Partnerships" document that followed the final report of the Special Committee on Health and Social Services. It is also part of the government's ongoing commitment to ensure that dealing with violence remains at the top of the list, not just of the government's priorities, but of everyone's priorities.
The reality is that many of our people are not well. Many individuals and families are caught up in a cycle of abuse and neglect that is profoundly unhealthy. The violence that takes place is as much a symptom as a cause of that unhealthiness. Violence, and our tolerance for violence and denial of its effects, will continue as long as our communities and our families remain unhealthy. A strategy to eliminate violence is essentially one which has, as its fundamental goals, the wellness of our communities.
Such a strategy, called the "community wellness strategy," is currently being developed by a broad coalition of 30 different social agencies, aboriginal and cultural organizations, women's groups, mental health services providers and government departments. The departments of Health and Social Services, Justice and Education, Culture and Employment are working closely together in this process, with the overall direction being provided by the broad coalition of 30 groups.
These groups, in spite of their diverse mandates and approaches, share a common understanding about the seriousness of the problems faced by our communities. More importantly, there is also a shared vision of the direction in which we all would like to move towards achieving health in our communities.
The community wellness strategy properly situates violence in a broad social context, rather than isolating it and trying to deal with it as a discreet problem as we have done so often and so unsuccessfully in the past. The strategy also is anchored in a community development approach. This approach is based on the belief that we must start a process that reverses the long-standing trend of removing responsibility and power from the communities. It is exactly that trend that is responsible in large measure for the extent of dysfunction that is now characterizing our communities.
In addressing the issue is this way, we are getting at the heart of the matter, we are cutting away at the roots of family violence. This is the only approach that holds promise in the long term, and it is one that communities have been encouraging us to pursue for some time.
At the same time as this process of developing a strategy moves ahead, we continue to do whatever we can to improve the response of the justice system to acts of violence. This includes working together with the federal government and our provincial and territorial colleagues in designing changes to the Criminal Code which will provide the greatest possible degree of protection to victims of violence. The document looks in detail at some of the proposed amendments that have been brought forward recently.
The document also discusses other specific initiatives that are being looked at here in this jurisdiction such as a victim impact statements program; changes in our programs which will free up resources so that greater assistance can be provided to victims, and proposed amendments to the Limitation of Actions Act.
The government is also looking closely at other measures such as emergency intervention orders to protect victims of family violence, similar to what has been enacted recently in Saskatchewan; a number of housing initiatives to respond to the recommendations of the Special Committee on Health and Social Services; and, possible legislation to provide leadership from the Legislative Assembly with respect to acts of violence by political leaders.
If we look down the road at what we are hoping to achieve as a society, I think we would all agree that the goal of wellness is something we all share. Wellness, we would all agree, is not compatible with violence, particularly violence directed at our family members and loved ones. Madam Speaker, we will reach this goal by making it a common cause and working together to achieve it. The community wellness strategy process is a promising start to this process and I believe it deserves the support of all of us. Thank you.

Minister's Statement 40-12(6): Education, Culture And Employment Strategy
Item 2: Ministers' Statements
Page 480
Richard Nerysoo

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, I am proud to present to the Members of this Assembly, and to the people of the Northwest Territories, the details of our new Education, Culture and Employment strategy called "People: Our Focus for the Future, A Strategy to 2010."
Communities in the north have been, and continue to be, challenged to find ways to maintain their traditions, while continuing to adopt to social, technological and political change. As well, in the territories, we are also contending with the same fiscal realities as many other jurisdictions. Choices will have to be made about how we organize, fund and deliver education, culture and employment programs and services now and in the future.
Madam Speaker, 12 years ago a strategy for education was approved by this Assembly. That strategy, "Learning: Tradition and Change," focused on three major initiatives: the implementation of aboriginal language programs, the establishment of divisional boards of education across the Northwest Territories and the establishment and development of a regional campus system for Arctic College. Madam Speaker, these goals have been accomplished and it is now time to move forward with a strategy to meet the realities of the Northwest Territories that they are now facing and will be facing into the next century.
The Strategy to 2010 represents the ideas and comments of citizens and organizations across the Northwest Territories. During the past 18 months, the department received comments from many different sources:
- elders participated in focus group session and proposed ways to enhance culture and tradition;
- educators and students provided valuable comments on the way education programs should be delivered;
- community and aboriginal organizations provided insight for great local decision-making; and,
- business and industry groups identified methods for establishing stronger links between work and education and training.
Madam Speaker, last November, I tabled Towards a Strategy to 2010: A Discussion Paper which was considered by Members in committee of the whole. The completed Strategy to 2010, which I will be tabling today, represents the outcome of a comprehensive consultation process. It incorporates the themes, issues and solutions which people in the Northwest Territories identified.
Our consultations have led us to further develop a community-based model for education, culture and employment programs which focuses on three major strategy concepts:
-First, we plan to link all phases of the learning cycle, from early childhood to adult education, into a continuum of lifelong learning activities;
-Second, we plan to enable greater community control and ownership of education, culture and employment programs through changes to the Education Act; and,
-Third, we propose to develop the concept of a community learning network which would link all community-based programs and services together through a single organization.
People have told us about the importance of being able to address their community's learning priorities through education, culture and employment programs coordinated and delivered at the community level.
The community-based model proposed in the strategy will meet many of the objectives we heard in our consultation, including:
-establishing an early childhood learning system;
-improving student achievement;
-developing a comprehensive system of post-secondary education in the Northwest Territories;
-improving support to communities for culture programs; and,
-developing a territorial system of information networks.
Madam Speaker, the completion of the Strategy to 2010 marks the beginning of a new period of planning and activity for Education, Culture and Employment in the Northwest Territories. The focus of that planning and activity over the next 15 years will be on the people and communities in the Northwest Territories. I will be making announcements over the next few months about the programs initiatives we are taking as a result of our strategic plan. I look forward to Members' comments and suggestions, and the comments of all our constituents. Thank you, Madam Speaker.

Prevention Of Oil Spills
Item 3: Members' Statements
Page 481
Tony Whitford
Yellowknife South
Thank you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, in 1989 when the Legislative Assembly was sitting in Norman Wells, myself and some of my colleagues had a chance to visit the Esso refinery and the interprovincial pipeline pumping stations in Norman Wells to see how they do things. Some of us even had a chance to fly over the right-of-way to see the reclamation work that was done and the hillside stabilization program that they put in place. To say the least, Madam Speaker, I was quite impressed with the technology being used to monitor the entire pumping and pipeline system that IPL was using.
I was even amazed to learn that the pressure and flow was monitored so closely that if a barrel of oil was spilled accidentally or, in some cases, deliberately in a test, this could be detected and attended to at once. The pipeline would immediately shut down if they lost pressure of even a small amount.
I believe that in the past 10 years or more since the pipeline had been instituted, there have been only a couple of minor oil spills; certainly no major ones that we're aware of. Those minor ones were quickly detected, and clean-up was taken care of almost immediately. I compliment IPL and Esso for their attention to such an important area.
Today, my colleagues and I were shocked to learn that a major, major oil spill has occurred in northern Russia, where tens of thousands of barrels of crude oil escaped before the flow was detected and stopped. And, Madam Speaker, that was only the start of this potential environmental disaster: the copper dams that were built to contain the spill were breached when heavy rains raised levels of oil and fluids behind the dam and sent the oil into the river system that has the possibility of emptying into Arctic waters.
Madam Speaker, I seek unanimous consent to continue.

Thank you, Madam Speaker, colleagues. The sad part of all this is that the spill is only now being brought to the world's attention. This occurred some time ago but we're only learning of it now. We, in the north, are fortunate enough to have good planning that has gone into the major part of the oil industry: oil and gas exploration, oil and gas extraction and transportation. Good planning, good work and perhaps good luck have gone into it. We have not been faced with such a disaster yet.
But, as Murphy's law predicts, if anything can go wrong, it will. I am confident, however, that Esso, IPL and this government are prepared for such an inevitable event and they are coordinated enough to foresee any subsequent or secondary conditions which could compound what would be a minor accident into something much more major. Thank you, very much.

NWT Power Corporation Proposed Rate Structure Changes
Item 3: Members' Statements
Page 481
Jim Antoine
Nahendeh
Mahsi, Madam Speaker. I am very concerned, Madam Speaker, about the NWT Power Corporation's proposed rate structure changes which are presently before the Public Utilities Board.
Madam Speaker, the proposal raises several questions. It is based on the cost of service analysis completed by the corporation over the fiscal year ending March 31, 1994. This analysis looked at the true cost of providing electrical services to a community versus the actual revenue received. The Power Corporation has said it needs revenue of nearly $100 million to remain in the black.
Proposed rate zones were created according to the source of power, diesel generator or hydroelectric. Also taken into consideration for creating these rate zones was the community's geopolitical location. What this means, Madam Speaker, is that rates in some areas, such as areas served by the Taltson hydroelectric project will go down and rates in the western diesel system rate area, which includes all the communities in my constituency, will go up. As a matter of fact, Madam Speaker, the rates in the western Arctic diesel zone for domestic service will have increased by approximately 50 per cent to meet the corporation's cost and service revenue requirements.
While the corporation has indicated in their proposal that the cost of commercial services will go down, the government will now pay the same rate as other ratepayers. The corporation, in it's rate application, is shifting the onus for revenue generation to the private household ratepayer. Rates for domestic service in the communities in my constituency will go up by 20 per cent over the next two years. Of course, none of my constituents are too happy with this development. It means that people in my constituency will be paying more money for their power. Some people pay too much already.
In addition, Madam Speaker, I am not too impressed with the entire process of public hearings held by the Public Utilities Board into the proposed new rate structure. Adequate notice was not given to the residents of the NWT so that they could make informed submissions to the board. I am very disappointed that there were no hearings held in any of the regions on this important matter.
Madam Speaker, I am running out of time. I seek unanimous consent to conclude my statement.

Mahsi, Madam Speaker. It also seems to me, Madam Speaker, from looking through the newspapers of the last few weeks, that there has either been a news blackout of the hearings, or that it has been decided that the conclusions of the board are foregone conclusions and there is no point in sending out anyone to cover this matter by the media. Putting a small advertisement in the territorial newspaper announcing that there will be hearings into the NWT Power Corporation's application for proposed rate structure changes gives people little information on how this will affect them.
When the hearings on such an important matter are only held in one community, it causes undue financial hardship for anybody who would like to appear before the Public Utilities Board.
Madam Speaker, as a publicly-owned corporation, I believe it is the responsibility and, indeed, the obligation of the NWT Power Corporation when it proposes such a radical change in the way it provides services to residents of the NWT, to provide as much information as possible. As well, to give an opportunity to people in the communities to make presentations to the Public Utilities Board in their own communities.
I also have concern about how these rate change proposals will affect the territorial government's power subsidy program, given that the power subsidy amount is based on the cost of providing power in Yellowknife. Mahsi, Madam Speaker.

Impact Of Land Claims Settlements On Non-claimant Groups
Item 3: Members' Statements
Page 482
Samuel Gargan
Deh Cho
Thank you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, I would like to, first of all, congratulate all the native organizations and groups that have been successful in negotiating final claims agreements with the federal and territorial governments over the last ten years.
Unfortunately, Madam Speaker, in most cases when this negotiating process occurred, the people most affected by the outcome are the non-claimant groups in the areas. A classic example of this is the impact of the Nunavut land claims on the Treaty 8 claimant groups.
This claim has not only affected the Dene and Metis of the western Northwest Territories, but also the aboriginal people living in northern Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta.
A recent signing of an agreement in the Sahtu has impacted on the future selection of lands in the Deh Cho area. We also have concerns about the Dogrib claims also incorporating traditional Deh Cho and Treaty 8 lands in their claim.
It seems to me, Madam Speaker, that this is another example of the federal government's traditional approach of negotiating with aboriginal groups which is, simply put, divide and conquer. The government doesn't care if, in the process of finalizing land claims, it is discovered that the boundaries impact on another group. This has been proven time and time again in claim after claim.
Madam Speaker, I understand the reasoning on the part of the claimant groups that have signed. They have their land base and money to provide economic opportunities for their people. In the old days, Madam Speaker, when aboriginal people had a disagreement about the boundaries between two tribes, the matter was usually settled by consultation between the elders of the two groups. The elders would use traditional knowledge and common sense in solving the problems. They would make the best solution for all the Dene people.

Thank you, Madam Speaker, honourable Members. Madam Speaker, we, as a people, have lost sight of the guiding principles in the rush to sign these agreements. In the rush to provide opportunities for their members, the
claimant groups have forgotten their Dene brothers and sisters in the non-claimant areas.
I don't blame any groups for going for the biggest piece of the pie. Just remember to leave the rightful share for the rest of us. Mahsi cho.

Appointment Of Mary Simon As Circumpolar Ambassador
Item 3: Members' Statements
Page 483
James Arvaluk
Aivilik
Madam Speaker, over the past few months, Members were aware that the federal government was considering appointing a circumpolar ambassador. Many of us were concerned about what duties this ambassador would have. We were also worried that this might be a patronage appointment, rather than getting the best person for this important job.
Therefore, it was with great pleasure that I heard the announcement of Mary Simon as Canada's first circumpolar ambassador. In my opinion, Madam Speaker, Ms. Simon is definitely a great choice for a circumpolar ambassador as Canada's first Inuk ambassador. Mary Simon is no stranger to the people of the north, either in Canada or in other circumpolar countries. For the past two decades she has been a strong spokesperson for Inuit people. Her work has included a leadership for the Inuit Tapirisat of Canada, Makivik Corporation and the Inuit Circumpolar Conference. Many of you may have met her, especially at the last ITC conference in Inuvik.
Ms. Simon will have an important responsibility to carry out, at the time when circumpolar relations are becoming more important. She will represent Canada at international meetings on circumpolar issues, raising our concerns and ideas. She will also be responsible for coordinating Canada's participation in the eight-nation Arctic environmental protection strategy.
During my two terms as president of Inuit Tapirisat of Canada, I had the pleasure of working with this remarkable lady. I am confident that she will continue to be a positive role model for our young people and an excellent ambassador for Canada.
I am sure all Members of this Assembly will join me in wishing Ms. Simon success when she assumes her new role this coming Monday, October 31st. Thank you, Madam Speaker.

Emergency Measures For Resolute Bay And Grise Fiord
Item 3: Members' Statements

Ludy Pudluk

(Translation) Thank you, Madam Speaker. In my constituency, during the late summer and early fall when ice begins to form and the glaciers start running through our passages, many of these glaciers are old formations and they start to break up during the summer months. This has been a problem for the communities in my riding, particularly for Resolute Bay and Grise Fiord. Just this last summer, we almost did not get our annual sealift because of too much ice in the area. In fact, the Russian ice breaker was unable to make it to Grise Fiord because of the ice.
At this point, I have a concern. Any time in the future should the annual sealift not make it to those communities because of the ice, the government will have to be in a position to plan for provisions such as heating oil to ensure that they have enough supplies if an annual sealift doesn't make it in.
The airstrip and the runway are too short so that large planes aren't able to land there, except in the months of March and April when we can get airplanes landing on the ice to provide heating oils and other necessities. Thank you, Madam Speaker.

Outbreak Of Tb In Baffin Region

(Translation) Thank you, Madam Speaker. I'm making a Member's statement with regard to this spring there was a large TB outbreak and there were a lot of people in the Baffin region -- I'm not really such about the number of people -- who had TB, especially from Cape Dorset and other Baffin areas.
Madam Speaker, this is a concern of mine, as well. I remember years ago when we were younger when there was a TB outbreak; I know, Madam Speaker, that the people of Cape Dorset pulled together to send people out for medical treatment. The people helped each other out as much as they could.
Madam Speaker, I would like those people who get struck by TB to be assisted by the medical services staff, especially the people of Cape Dorset, so this disease will not be spread throughout the Northwest Territories. Thank you, Madam Speaker.

Financial Support For Sports
Item 3: Members' Statements

Mahsi, Madam Speaker. I rise today to speak about sports in the north. My colleagues, Mr. Pudlat and Mr. Zoe , over the last few weeks have raised issues about the status and support to various sporting events and support to communities to host sporting events in the Northwest Territories.
In sports there are many people involved; there are the athletes, there are officials, cheerleaders and organizers, and they all participate one way or another. There are many sporting events and gatherings in the Northwest Territories. We have regional community games which mainly focus in on northern games, which include the Arctic sports and the Dene games. We also have indigenous games, as was mentioned by Mr. Zoe . The next set of annual games are in the United States. There are spring carnivals and festivals in most communities. We also have Arctic Winter Games and Canada Games.
These events, Madam Speaker, help keep our people busy, especially our youth. There's an adage that if you have a healthy body you're going to have a healthy mind. So that's something that we should continue to support.
There are several questions that have to be raised, though, and that is are we focusing our energies on the right events; are we spending our finances supporting the right things? Madam Speaker, these are issues which concern organizers and athletes in communities, and these are the ones, especially in small communities, who don't have a lot of corporate sponsors to turn to so that many athletes don't have the opportunities to get the experience and get to places where others are more fortunate to get to.
I would like to just say that this government has to look at and review how and where our financial support for sports in the Northwest Territories is going. Mahsi.

Family Violence Workers And Programs
Item 3: Members' Statements
Page 484
Kelvin Ng
Kitikmeot
Thank you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, on Friday, October 21st, this Assembly passed a motion supporting the increase of salaries and benefits to family violence prevention workers, to make their salaries and benefits comparable to equivalent positions within the GNWT.
As we all know, the funding for the family violence shelters comes from the Department of Health and Social Services. Many of them have been in existence for years; most are operating at minimum service levels due to inadequate funding. In my constituency, Cambridge Bay has a crisis shelter operated by the Katimavik Society. Of all the shelters funded by the GNWT, this one receives the least funding. They have in the past, and currently continue, to make do with what funds they are given to operate with.
Madam Speaker, in some instances, strong community-based and supported initiatives have been ignored as a result of, what I believe are, financial reasons. The other major community in my constituency, Coppermine, submitted a modest funding proposal in February 1994 to operate a crisis shelter. This proposal was from the hamlet council in conjunction with the Coppermine women's group. The facility to operate the crisis shelter was to be provided by the hamlet council. The proposal was turned down on the basis of unavailable financial resources.
Madam Speaker, the government must review the overall funding to organizations operating family violence prevention programs. Firstly, to ensure that there is fairness and equity in the allocation of funding and, secondly, to ensure that there is an opportunity for communities recognizing and willing to act upon, the need to establish family violence prevention programs in their communities.
Our Legislative Assembly and the GNWT have adopted the policy of zero tolerance for violence against all people. The Standing Committee on Finance and the Assembly have recommended that the government develop a plan to deal with family violence, which I believe must focus on supporting and expanding community-based programs such as family violence prevention initiatives and recognizing and addressing some of the needs in our communities. Mahsi.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I have a question for the Minister of Justice . I just looked through the famous red book here. Mr. Gargan keeps it handy, so we check the Liberal bible here everyday to see if there is anything interesting.
---Laughter
Madam Speaker, I notice there is not a lot of emphasis on programs for victims in the red book. In his discussions with the federal Finance Minister and in the face of impending massive cuts, has the federal Justice Minister indicated to our Justice Minister that he intends to fully support victims' programs here in the Northwest Territories?

Supplementary, Madam Speaker. In the last five years, I think we have made a lot of progress in the area of programs for victims. The Northwest Territories, I think, is one of the more enlightened jurisdictions in the country. But, we still do depend on some federal funding for some of the programs available here in the Northwest Territories.
Has the Minister made a strong representation to the federal Minister to at least protect existing federal funding for victims' programs?

Madam Speaker, the federal Minister is aware that all across Canada there are increasing calls for support and assistance to be provided to victims, as opposed to the more traditional approach which is to spend all our resources and efforts in dealing with the offenders. The Minister is aware of that. What is not clear, in the face of continuing cuts and reprofiling of resources, is where the issue is in federal priorities. But, I would think he would try to do everything he can to ensure that those are not cut as a result of the fiscal situation of the federal government. Thank you.

Thank you. As I said, Madam Speaker, during the last few years we've come a long way. But, I think it is recognized by everybody that the rights of the victims, to this point, are still nowhere equal to the rights of the accused or the rights of somebody convicted of a crime.
Can the Minister give assurances to this House that he will aggressively pursue, with the Minister, the continuation of the existing programs we have for victims throughout the Northwest Territories?

Madam Speaker, as the Member knows, the red book, for instance, makes some commitments that the federal government is trying to keep. One of them, which has obsessed the federal Minister, is gun control. He is actively pursuing that with a vengeance, so to speak. I think the Minister will recognize that victims of violence programs and all of that are related. There is a political agenda. There are specific commitments in the red book that they have made and I think they want to make sure they achieve those. They will turn their attention, I'm sure, to the other issues as soon as they feel they have achieved those things they made public commitments to. Thank you.

(Translation) Thank you, Madam Speaker. My question is for the Minister of Health and Social Services. Last week, I mentioned that elders have to have a better place to live. Like I mentioned before, there should be an elders' centre in Cape Dorset. This has been talked about for quite some time now. I wonder if the Minister of Health and Social Services or her department has done any planning to put an elders' centre in the Cape Dorset area so the elders in my constituency and community could stay in their own community instead of going to different communities or regions.

Madam Speaker, as I indicated yesterday, the Minister of Housing and myself are trying to find solutions for elders' housing. We are working very hard to see if we can put into place a program where we can do long-range planning for the needs of elders. At this point, I don't see the specific planning for Cape Dorset in the capital budget. However, I want to emphasize that we know the program for elders is one of great importance. We are trying to work that out, jointly, to come forward with a plan of action on when and how to provide those facilities. Thank you, Madam Speaker.

Madam Speaker, I can't give you a breakdown of exactly what is available in each community. I'm attempting to do that so we can address the global concern of what is available to communities in terms of the support they get. I am aware that in areas or in
communities where there aren't any crisis centres, that the department works with several families in communities where there can be designated safe homes. This is where we have a working arrangement with an individual family who will receive families or children or mothers who find themselves in a critical situation where the situation at home becomes unbearable and they have to placed under someone's care. So there are designated safe homes pretty well in all communities, Madam Speaker. Thank you.

Madam Speaker, the one area where it seems that people are very well aware who the particular employee is, is in that area of social work. As we all are aware, in our attempt to try to refocus where we're putting our support, our income support, right at this moment in time it goes to the social worker.
So there should not be an incident that the social worker would be unknown to the community because normally, if there is a crisis situation, the RCMP are called in on a difficult situation, or if another family or friend is aware of it, they generally call the social worker, and advise them that there are severe problems. Otherwise, the RCMP is aware of where we allocated the safe homes, and would immediately bring that person to that particular location. Thank you, Madam Speaker.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Supplementary. I would like to ask the Minister then, in a situation where the community is aware of the social worker and somebody goes to that social worker for assistance, given that it's not going to be during regular working hours, I would like to ask the Minister would that social worker be expected to answer these emergency calls at any time of the day or night. Thank you.

Madam Speaker, I know that certainly where there is more than one social worker, they generally make an arrangement of who is going to be on call. I know there are some communities that don't have the privilege of having more than one person, but the RCMP would also be aware of where that safe house is and so would the nurse in charge, Madam Speaker. So to access a safe home is generally a known location to all the authorities who work in the community. Thank you, Madam Speaker.

Question 239-12(6): Rationale For Power Rate
Schedule And Pub Hearings
Item 6: Oral Questions

Nahendeh
Mahsi, Madam Speaker. My question is to the Minister responsible for the NWT Power Corporation. It's related to my Member's statement earlier in the session today. The majority of the communities in the western Arctic diesel zone, as proposed by the new power rates, have no heavy industry; they don't have any major corporate clients such as mines, for example, to create revenue for the Power Corporation. Under the proposed new plan, each region will be responsible for creating a monitor reserve to replace equipment if it breaks down.
Given this, I would like to ask the Minister responsible for the rationale for their rate schedule. Is it based on a system that is currently used in Canada? Thank you.

Madam Speaker, the issue of the rate zones is not a new issue. On several occasions, as we made our report to the standing committees of this House, there was always an acknowledgement that there was a commitment, when we took over the Power Corporation, to rationalize the rate and rate structures.
The body that hears the application and suggestions or proposals is the Public Utilities Board. The Public Utilities Board is an agency that is set up, and it's a quasi-judicial body that looks at the applications that are put before it, analyses the application, looks at the rationale as to why that particular proposal is put forward. What shoots out at the end of the hearings would be the determination of what the Public Utilities Board has determined on the application and proposals that have been put forward by the Power Corporation, Madam Speaker. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. I don't know whether I received an answer to my question, but I will follow up with a supplementary question since the Minister responsible for the Power Corporation mentioned the Public Utilities hearing process. There was a great concern by ordinary Members that this hearing was only held in Yellowknife. I know there was discussion earlier in this session, last week, about this. I would like to know from the Minister whether the people in the communities will have the opportunity to provide their presentations on the NWT Power Corporation rates to the Public Utilities Board in the communities. Thank you.

Madam Speaker, the question legitimately should be placed to the Minister responsible, Mr. Todd , or the Minister responsible for the Public Utilities Board .
Madam Speaker, the Public Utilities Board is a quasi-judicial body and frowns very strongly upon interference, as they generally call it if you try to short circuit the legitimate responsibility they have as a Public Utilities Board, Madam Speaker. Thank you.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. My reason for questioning is not to interfere or short circuit any quasi-judicial board. I'm here to represent the members of my constituency and their concerns about the huge increase that they expect to incur once this proposal has been reviewed and if it's approved by the Public Utilities Board. So I would like to further ask the Minister responsible for the NWT Power Corporation whether these hearings have been concluded, or if there's opportunity for people in communities to express their views on this. Thank you.

(Translation) Thank you, Madam Speaker. On July 11th, we did a survey as to how many staff houses might be needed. According to the July 11th document, we have 36 employees in Arctic Bay and they have 16 units. Seven of them are presently occupied. The other units are occupied by people in the Department of Health. I think there are some units that are not occupied. We did a survey on July 11th. After the survey, there were other units that were not occupied. I will look into this and find out what we can do. Thank you, Madam Speaker.

The reason I asked you to repeat that question, Mr. Ballantyne , is somehow I find it could be considered as a hypothetical question since the process has not been completed. Therefore, I would like to ask if you could rephrase your question. I know what you are trying to ask, but rephrase it so it doesn't appear to be hypothetical. Thank you.

(Translation) Thank you, Madam Speaker. As the Member for High Arctic knows, we will try to provide staff housing in the communities, but not in Yellowknife, Fort Smith, Hay River or Inuvik. We will be providing more staff housing. At this time, 1994-95, there is construction of staff housing through the Housing Corporation. At this time, I cannot answer exactly how many employees require housing. I will have to take his question as notice. Thank you.

Thank you. I think we can all agree that the new rate zones haven't been set up yet. The Minister will let us know when they are anticipated to be set up. There are no new rate zones. So, my question to the Minister is, what was the rationale of the Power Corporation to break with standard procedure and ask for an extraordinary increase in a zone that has not yet been set up.

Thank you, Madam Speaker. Madam Speaker, my information is that $7 million was what the system generated over the last two years, since the territorial government has run the Power Corporation. To do something like this, which is quite extraordinary, the Power Corporation must have come forward with some very strong rationale to break with all precedent, to ignore the reality that this particular area has put $7 million into the system, and to decide at this time that this particular area would pay the total cost for the low water. I will ask again, what was the rationale given to the Minister by the Power Corporation to make this extraordinary decision?

Madam Speaker, when the Power Corporation came forward to build a multi-million dollar line from Snare to Yellowknife, that application had to go through the Public Utilities Board. When we had to install the large, extraordinary funding for Yellowknife customers for diesel generation, that had to go through the Public Utilities Board. When the Power Corporation looked at the cost of losing water, that also is before the Public Utilities Board and their rationale is also before the Public Utilities Board. Thank you, Madam Speaker.
